2017 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · VU17 AEC

The Mercedes-Benz C presents a clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent examination on 2 February 2026 at 63,063 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results. Across five consecutive annual tests from February 2022, the vehicle showed zero advisories or failures, confirming a stable maintenance trend rather than any worsening mechanical drift. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical private use for a nine-year-old saloon. Starting at 35,053 miles on 4 February 2022, the odometer advanced to 39,925 by 24 January 2023, then 49,407 on 30 January 2024, 56,348 on 6 February 2025, and finally 63,063 at the latest test. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods suggesting long-term standing. The consistent January/February testing cadence indicates disciplined upkeep by prior keepers. Despite the spotless MOT ledger, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of core mechanical and structural elements. The DVSA tester flagged no binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, cracked coil springs, or structural corrosion across the five examinations. Nine years of service can nevertheless conceal perished rubber mounts or early subframe rust unseen in a brief test bay check. Verify brake disc thickness, tyre tread, and exhaust emissions in person. Prior owners clearly met statutory standards; the clean record implies they addressed minor consumable wear before each test.
