2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C3.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT test on 19 January 2026 at 52,650 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual tests dating back to March 2022, the vehicle has never received a single advisory item or failure. This impeccable record indicates exceptional maintenance standards and no developing mechanical or structural concerns, presenting a completely stable trend. The car has covered approximately 52,650 miles over roughly nine years, averaging under 5,850 miles per year. This consistent low-mileage pattern, with annual increments of around 6,400 to 8,600 miles between tests, suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Such a usage profile typically limits wear on consumables like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components, though the absence of any MOT remarks confirms no signs of excessive component deterioration. Despite the outstanding MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential for a nine-year-old vehicle. The buyer should confirm the condition of age-sensitive items such as brake discs and pads for corrosion or uneven wear, tyres for perishing and tread depth, and suspension rubber bushes for cracking. A thorough underbody examination is critical to rule out early corrosion, particularly on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mountings. Finally, verify a complete main dealer or specialist service record to ensure timely renewal of engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to overlooked fluid deterioration.
