2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · AJ17 YVZ

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 60,456 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage has remained consistent and close to typical for the age. The record shows 24,448 miles at the 1 July 2021 test, rising to 34,478 by 8 July 2022, 44,156 by 8 July 2023, 51,848 by 11 July 2024, and 60,456 by 14 July 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 9,400 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse in detail because every entry lists zero defects, so no wear items or consumables were formally flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean record. Absence of advisories does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or subframe corrosion, merely that the tester found nothing exceeding pass limits on the day. At nine years old, rubber components and underbody protection warrant physical checks. Given the low yearly use, the car may have stood for extended periods, raising the risk of seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres not captured by the MOT. Verify service history, test the brakes for binding, and inspect exhaust emissions hardware before purchase.
