2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.1L Diesel · VU17 ADX

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional record of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 15 July 2025 at 34,441 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean result mirrors the outcomes of the previous four annual inspections, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met DVSA standards without requiring corrective work. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 3,827 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained consistent, with a slight increase to 3,252 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, compared to 2,477 miles between July 2022 and July 2023. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often presents different risks than high mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of distance. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from perished tyre rubber, flat spots, or degraded suspension bushes due to lack of articulation. Check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust and seized sliders. The absence of any advisories over five years suggests a high standard of preventative care. However, the lack of recorded faults does not replace the need to verify service intervals. Ensure the engine oil and auxiliary fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer schedule, as oil degradation occurs over time even when the vehicle is not being driven.
