2017 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · MK17 ABO

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the October 2025 MOT pass at 79,430 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The most recent test cycle shows a pass and a same-day fail at identical mileage with no defects logged, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in August 2024 at 66,128 miles and July 2023 at 46,087 miles also returned clean passes with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation tracks at a modest 8,826 miles per year against the car's nine-year age, reflecting light-to-average use. The jump from 43,537 miles in July 2022 to 46,087 miles in July 2023 shows minimal annual movement of 2,550 miles, then a larger 20,041-mile increase to August 2024. The record stays sparse and clean throughout, with no flagged corrosion, binding calipers, or worn consumables such as tyres and wiper blades across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, suspension arms, and underbody for hidden corrosion given the low early mileage suggesting possible prolonged standing. The same-day fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation the DVSA log reflects correct test outcomes and the vehicle holds a valid current certificate. No recurring mechanical faults emerge from the history to demand targeted component checks beyond standard pre-purchase scrutiny.
