2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · YF67 AAN

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its latest test in October 2025 at 164,523 miles. This most recent inspection recorded no defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in August 2023, the subsequent three tests have passed without advisories, suggesting that any previous issues were addressed and the current maintenance trend is consistent. The mileage profile reveals a significant surge in usage over the last two years. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 50,766 miles, a rate that far exceeds the established annual average of 18,280 miles. This intensive use continued between the November 2024 and October 2025 tests, where another 69,816 miles were logged. Such rapid accumulation suggests the car was likely used for heavy long-distance motorway driving, which places specific stress patterns on the drivetrain, turbo components, and suspension bushings. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. High-speed use often accelerates the wear on coil springs and control arm bushes, which can manifest as tracking or uneven tyre wear. You should also check the brake discs for thinning and caliper glazing, as the volume of mileage implies heavy cycles on these components. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the sheer distance the vehicle has necessitates a physical check for fluid leaks and chassis integrity that a standard MOT cannot fully guarantee.
