2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KS17 AEU

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the August 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 2025-08-28 at 131,287 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, as every annual test from 2022 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories logged. The lone exception was a failed test on 2025-08-27 at identical mileage of 131,287 miles, yet the record lists no defects, indicating an administrative or documentation failure rather than a mechanical fault before the pass one day later. Mileage accumulation sits high for a 2017 registered Mercedes-Benz C-Class, reaching 131,287 miles over roughly nine years at an average of 14,587 miles per year. The records show consistent annual use: 92,625 miles in August 2022, 106,568 in August 2023, 120,004 in August 2024, and 131,287 by August 2025. Annual increments of approximately 11,000 to 13,000 miles reflect steady motorway or commuter driving rather than standing periods. The data is sparse on fault detail, with five consecutive clean tests and no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake disc, or emissions concerns ever flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear given the high mileage and the clean MOT slate. Testers issued no advisories on coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust condition, but absence of recorded wear at 131,287 miles warrants verification of real-world tyre tread, wiper blades, and brake component thickness. The unexplained fail on 2025-08-27 with zero defects suggests checking the VIN and test documentation for clerical anomalies before purchase. Previous keepers maintained the car without triggering statutory warnings across four years and 38,662 miles of use. That pattern implies reasonable upkeep, though the lack of any advisory history on a high-mileage German saloon is unusual and merits scrutiny of underside corrosion and drivetrain condition that MOT checks may not fully expose.
