2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 1.6L Petrol · N44 CBC

The vehicle currently maintains a sound roadworthy condition, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 October 2025 at 44,591 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that all mechanical and safety components met the required standards. This follows a clean result in 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained between intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 5,001-mile interval between the October 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,665-mile gap prior. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or fluid degradation if not addressed by the. Specific attention should be paid to the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 39,590 miles flagged a defect for thin front brake pads on both sides. While this was resolved before the subsequent clean pass, a buyer should verify the remaining pad thickness and inspect the discs for scoring or pitting, which can occur on lower mileage. The failure in November 2022 due to exposed cords on both front tyres indicates a previous lapse in basic upkeep, so the current tyre manufacture dates and depth should be checked to ensure they are not compromised by age-related cracking.
