2017 Mercedes-Benz C200 Sport Auto 2.0L Petrol · ABA 899T

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 September 2025 at 17,478 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met minimum safety requirements without any recurring mechanical or structural failures recorded over the last five years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,942 miles per year. Between the February 2021 test at 8,266 miles and the September 2025 test at 17,478 miles, the car covered only 9,212 miles over over four years. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and engine-related parts, the long intervals between tests also indicate the car may sit stationary for extended periods, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and oxidisation of fluids. Given the lack of recorded faults in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. You must check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the rotors from staying clean, leading to premature wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for hairline cracking or dry rot, which occurs due to age regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and fluids have been changed on an annual basis rather than solely on mileage to maintain internal engine integrity.
