MERCEDES-BENZ C2017 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 57,561 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of neglect in late 2023. While the car previously failed due to tyre issues, the subsequent clean tests indicate that the current owner addressed the identified faults and maintained the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 10,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 10,600 miles in the months leading up to the February 2026 test. This low annual mileage suggests lower wear on major drivetrain components, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals or rubber components if the vehicle sat for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry due to recurring uneven tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2025. The tester flagged the nearside front and offside front tyres as wearing on the edges, which typically indicates misaligned camber, worn ball joints, or failing arm bushings. While the latest test showed no defects, the history of inner edge wear suggests the front end may require a professional alignment to prevent premature tyre replacement. Given the historical failure for insufficient tread depth on all four tyres in 2023, the buyer must verify the current age and condition of the tyre set. The lack of structural corrosion or brake advisories in the records suggests a well-maintained chassis, but a physical check of the rubber components and bushings remains essential to ensure the previous wear patterns have not become a recurring mechanical issue.
