2017 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · MK17 AEA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 November 2025 at 88,190 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided the common mechanical and structural failures typically flagged by DVSA testers. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 20,018 miles, indicating a period of significantly higher usage. Since the 2022 test at 63,559 miles, the mileage accumulation has steadied to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles annually. This regularity of use is generally beneficial for modern Mercedes components as it prevents the drying of seals and internal corrosion that often occurs with long periods of standing. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items that do not always trigger a failure. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyre treads and sidew for uneven wear, and inspect the brake discs for signs of scoring or excessive thinning. Given the vehicle is approaching the 90,000-mile mark, verifying the service history regarding the gearbox oil change and coolant flushes is essential, as these fall outside the scope of annual MOT testing.
