2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · A21 ABG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The November 2025 test at 39,637 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of passing tests without issues throughout 2024 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained in its recent operating life. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2017 model, averaging roughly 4,400 miles per year. A significant discrepancy appears between the April 2023 test at 67,366 miles and the November 2023 test at 37,559 miles. This massive drop of nearly 30,000 miles suggests a potential clerical error in the mileage recording or a replacement engine/odometer, which requires immediate verification against service records. Aside from this anomaly, the vehicle has covered very little distance since 2022, which may indicate long periods of inactivity. The mechanical history shows only minor consumable wear rather than systemic failures. The August 2020 test flagged thin rear brake pads, and the April 2023 test noted an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These are standard maintenance items that do not suggest underlying mechanical neglect. However, because the vehicle has clearly spent significant time stationary, a buyer should inspect the condition of rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls for perishing, and engine seals for signs of drying out. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyre condition to ensure the recent clean passes reflect actual mechanical health. Given the mileage discrepancy noted in the 2023 records, verifying the vehicle's service history and ensuring the odometer reading is accurate is a priority before purchase. Check for any signs of fluid leaks or battery degradation that often accompany low-use vehicles.
