Our Verdict

This 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC offers strong brand appeal but carries notable risks from repeated tyre and ABS issues. A pre-purchase inspection is essential to assess repair history and mechanical condition.

Prioritise a full mechanical inspection focusing on the ABS system and tyre condition. Check for documented repairs related to the 2026 MOT failures, particularly the nearside front tyre ply exposure and ABS warning lamp. Negotiate based on the 2025 and 2024 MOT failures, which indicate ongoing maintenance needs. Verify if the mismatched front tyres (from the 2024 failure) have been corrected. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from Mercedes-Benz's premium servicing requirements.
