2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 220 AMG LINE D AUTO2.1L HEAVY OIL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 10 June 2026 at 110,821 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving after a period of inconsistent upkeep. While the most recent test showed no defects, the record shows a history of consumable wear and minor electrical issues. The vehicle passed its latest inspection without advisories, suggesting that any previous issues with tyres or brakes have been addressed. The mileage profile indicates significant recent usage. Between the May 2025 test at 72,225 miles and the June 2026 test at 110,821 miles, the car covered 38,596 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation follows a much slower period between 2020 and 2023, where the vehicle averaged roughly 5,000 miles per year. This sudden shift to high-intensity driving suggests the car is now being used frequently for long-distance commuting or commercial purposes, which will accelerate the wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and tyres. The May 2024 test at 60,691 miles flagged thinning rear brake pads and multiple tyre defects, including cracking, perishing, and edge wear on both rear tyres. Although the 2026 test shows no defects, the high mileage covered in the last year means these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life again. The 2023 failure due to a tyre bulge and the 2021 failure regarding an inoperative engine MIL indicate that previous owners occasionally neglected basic maintenance and electrical checks. Given the recent surge in mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the chassis has not suffered from the increased load. Inspecting the brake discs for scoring and checking the tyre tread depth across all four corners will help determine if the current high-mileage usage is being managed with appropriate maintenance intervals.
