MERCEDES-BENZ C2017 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents an exemplar roadworthiness profile with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 1 July 2025 at 52,182 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This continues a period of clean test results spanning the last five years, indicating that the previous owners have maintained a high standard of upkeep and that the vehicle has not suffered from mechanical or structural failures requiring intervention. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 23,802 miles, with the most recent year of use adding only 5,579 miles. This consistent low usage suggests the car was likely used for short trips or kept, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and interior compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid moisture buildup if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods between tests. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, combination dampers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of age-related consumables. A buyer should check for brake corrosion on the discs, as low-frequency use can lead to surface pitting or seized calipers. Additionally, inspecting the tyre sidewalls for cracking due to age is essential, as the MOT only measures tread depth and not the structural integrity of the rubber compound.
