2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.0L Petrol · 8 DSL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 63,594 miles resulted in a pass, but flagged both front tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This suggests the owner tends to address components once they fail or reach a critical threshold, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 47,433 miles and January 2025 at 58,228 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles, showing steady but light use. The data gap in early 2024 at 52,779 miles saw a specific failure due to a fractured coil spring and a weakened rear brake disc, which were subsequently rectified to achieve a passing grade the following day. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system during a physical evaluation. The 2024 failure involving a broken offside front coil spring and the subsequent advisory for worn front brake discs in 2025 indicate that the suspension and braking components are under stress. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the 2026 test further points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that require verification to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
