2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance in recent months. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 77,345 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from the advisory-heavy history to two consecutive clean passes suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 53,841 miles and October 2024 at 72,042 miles, the car covered 18,201 miles, showing a regular usage cycle. There is no evidence of long periods of stagnation or sudden spikes in mileage, which helps mitigate the risk of seal or perishing of rubber components noted in the 2022 records. A buyer should focus their attention on the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The September 2023 test at 64,843 miles flagged play in both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints. While these appear to have been replaced given the subsequent clean records, a technician should check for any uneven tyre wear or steering play that might indicate the components were not fitted correctly. The 2022 advisories regarding perishing tyres and edge wear also suggest the vehicle previously suffered from alignment issues, so the current set of tyres should be inspected for structural integrity and even wear patterns.
