2017 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · AF67 MYK

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 January 2026 at 106,937 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since at least 2022. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive certificates indicates the previous keeper addressed wear before it reached test-failure threshold. Annual mileage averages 11,882 against the vehicle's nine-year life, a typical figure for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 62,808 miles in June 2022, 77,187 by June 2023, 88,674 by July 2024, 96,436 by July 2025, and 106,937 by January 2026. No dormant periods or sudden jumps appear. The six-month gap between the July 2025 and January 2026 tests reflects a changed test scheduling rather than irregular use, and the clean sheets at each point suggest disciplined servicing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished history. The MOT captures only test-day condition, so suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness may show wear invisible to the pass result. At 106,937 miles the drivetrain and steering joints warrant physical checks for play or leakage. Structural integrity shows no corrosion flags in the data, yet underside rust can develop between tests on older Mercedes units. Verify the service book matches the mileage steps and confirm tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions remain within limits ahead of the next due date in early 2027.
