2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The recent test in July 2025 at 21,636 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required safety standards. This trend suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without recurring mechanical failures or escalating deffect advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between March 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 7,884 miles, confirming a pattern of infrequent use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based components. The January 2024 test at 18,503 miles flagged perishing and cracking on all tyres, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rubber components to check for sidewall cracking and oil, as the previous failure indicates age-related decay. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting from lack of use, which can lead to uneven braking. Additionally, the suspension bushes and split boots should be checked for cracking, as these parts dry out over time regardless of the distance recorded on the odometer.
