Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 27 October 2025 at 60,630 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The October 2025 test cycle shows a fail on 23 October 2025 at identical mileage of 60,630, followed by a pass four days later with no defects recorded on either certificate. This pattern indicates the initial failure was resolved without parts replacement or major intervention, and the absence of any advisories across all five tests suggests no escalating mechanical concerns. The odometer readings show light annual use for a 2017 registered Mercedes-Benz C-Class, accumulating roughly 6,737 miles per year against the current 60,630 miles. The record jumps from 34,005 miles at the October 2021 test to 43,529 miles in October 2022, then 53,046 by October 2024, and 60,630 by October 2025, reflecting consistent low yearly coverage with a notable gap between the 2022 and 2024 entries where no test appears. Such sparse but clean records imply the previous keeper maintained statutory testing yet left a fourteen-month void unaccounted for in documented checks. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the low mileage and standing periods implied by the gap. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural integrity flags is favourable, though the 2025 fail with no listed defect may reflect a documentation anomaly or minor non-mechanical issue cleared same-week. Verify the front and rear brake calipers for binding after prolonged storage, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold-start conditions.
