Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the C-Class die
Your primary focus should be the front suspension. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint has appeared as an advisory in 2025, a failure in August 2026, and then reappeared as an advisory immediately after the subsequent pass on 26 August 2026. You should verify whether the part has been replaced or merely adjusted, as this is a recurring fault.
Additionally, check the tyres carefully. The vehicle failed its MOT on 24 August 2026 because the rear tyres had different aspect ratios on the same axle. Ensure that the current tyres are correctly matched in size and specification to ensure safe handling and legal compliance. Finally, check for a record of brake pad replacement following the 2024 advisory regarding thin front pads.
Equipped with a 1598cc diesel engine, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys. While diesel fuel costs are stable, maintenance for Mercedes-Benz models typically carries a premium for genuine parts and specialised labour.
Annual costs will include road tax based on its 2017 diesel emissions band and insurance, which typically falls into a mid-range group for the C-Class. Given the vehicle's age and brand, expect a moderate annual spend on servicing and consumables.
Prioritise an inspection of the nearside front lower suspension arm. The MOT data shows a failure for 'slight play' in the ball joint on 2026-08-24, followed by a pass on 2026-08-26 that still carried an advisory for the same issue. This suggests the fault may not have been fully rectified.
Check the rear tyres to ensure the aspect ratios now match, as this was a specific cause for the August 2026 failure. You should also inspect the front brake pads to see if they were replaced after the 2024 advisory. Finally, check the headlamps for any clouding or faults, as these are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data.
This silver 2017 Mercedes-Benz C (AY67LLK) has recorded 45,650 miles, which is notably lower than the model average. Its MOT history shows five tests with one failure in August 2026. The records highlight a persistent issue with the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a recent failure regarding mismatched rear tyre aspect ratios.
The C-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 82.4%, with suspension arms and tyres being among the most frequent causes of failure.
