Our Verdict
Recommended for its clean MOT history and below-average mileage, though lack of model-specific reliability data means buyers should verify service records.
Prioritize checking the service history for regular maintenance, particularly for the 4.0L engine which may require attention to cooling system components. Verify if the vehicle has any outstanding manufacturer recalls via the official Mercedes-Benz portal. Negotiate based on its low mileage, but be cautious of potential hidden costs associated with luxury vehicle repairs. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic familiar with German cars.
The 4.0L petrol engine will incur higher fuel costs compared to smaller alternatives, with estimated combined economy around 25-30 mpg. As a 2017 model, it falls into a higher insurance group (likely 20-30) and incurs £147.50 annual road tax (2026 rates). Major maintenance like timing belt replacement (recommended at 100,000 miles) may cost £500-£800. Annual running costs are estimated at £1,200-£1,500 including servicing and parts.
Focus on the 4.0L engine's head gaskets and cooling system, as these are prone to failure in older Mercedes models. Check for oil or coolant leaks under the hood and inspect the condition of the leather upholstery and climate control systems. Review the ECU for pending fault codes using an OBD2 scanner. Despite clean MOTs, examine the suspension components and steering rack for wear given the vehicle's age.
This 2017 Mercedes-Benz C has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across six consecutive annual tests, covering 47,419 to 57,059 miles. The 4.0L petrol engine and black exterior align with typical C-Class specifications, but no aggregate reliability data is available for the model. Its mileage is notably lower than average for its age, suggesting careful ownership.
No aggregate MOT data available for the MERCEDES-BENZ C model, but general industry perception suggests reliable performance from 2017 C-Class models when properly maintained.
