2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.0L Petrol

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 35,672 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a failure was logged on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue before the final certificate was issued. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old car, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. The progression from 25,818 miles in October 2022 to 35,672 miles in October 2025 shows a consistent, low-use pattern of roughly 3,200 miles annually over the last three years. This suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear or aggressive urban use. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across five years of testing is unusual and indicates a well-preserved example. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. A buyer should manually check for binding brakes and inspect the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not hardened despite having legal tread. Physical inspection should focus on fluid degradation and battery health, as short trips often prevent a vehicle from reaching optimal operating temperature. Check for any signs of perished seals or leaks that can develop when a car sits idle for extended periods. Given the clean MOT history, there are no recurring mechanical trends to worry about, but a full service history is necessary to confirm that oil changes occurred regardless of the low mileage.
