Our Verdict
A low-mileage example that warrants cons
When inspecting this specific vehicle, your primary focus should be on the consumables flagged in the January 2026 MOT. Check the condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not cracking or perishing as noted, and inspect the brake discs for pitting or scoring. Since the 2026 MOT mentioned both nearside and offside rear brake discs were worn, you should verify if these have been replaced since the test.
Beyond the MOT records, check for a consistent service history, particularly for the 2.1L diesel engine. Given the low annual mileage, ensure the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's intervals to prevent issues related to short-trip driving. Negotiate on the basis of the recent advisories if they have not yet been rectified by the seller.
As a 2143cc diesel, this C-Class is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will depend on your specific insurance group and tax band. Typical maintenance for this model involves periodic diesel particulate filter (DPF) considerations if used primarily for short urban trips.
Expect moderate maintenance costs, though the recent MOT advisories regarding tyres and brakes represent immediate out-of-pocket expenses. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, typically fall within a mid-range bracket for a premium German saloon.
Specifically address the findings from the January 2026 MOT: inspect the nearside front, offside front, and both rear tyres for signs of cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). Additionally, examine the rear brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the record (1.1.14 (a) (ii)).
While this vehicle has avoided the common model failures like suspension arm or headlamp issues seen in the aggregate data, you should still check the suspension components and headlight clarity. Given the low mileage, also check for any signs of age-related rubber degradation in the engine bay or suspension bushings.
This 2017 silver Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel has covered 31,799 miles as of January 2026, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,591 miles per year. While the MOT history is largely clean, the most recent test in early 2026 flagged issues with tyre condition and brake disc wear. Overall, the vehicle presents as a low-usage example with a documented history of passing inspections.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points identified as suspension arms, tyres, and headlamps.
