2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · BT67 MLE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test conducted on 16 November 2022 at 31,071 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates that the vehicle was maintained to a consistent standard and that the mechanical and structural components remained within tolerance limits during that inspection period. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,452 miles per year. Between the 2020 test at 22,219 miles and the 2021 test at 25,375 miles, the car covered only 3,156 miles. A further 5,696 miles were recorded between September 2021 and November 2022. This low usage pattern suggests minimal road wear on the drivetrain and suspension but also raises potential risks associated with vehicles that undergo long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. Vehicles that sit for long durations often suffer from flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber hoses, and seized brake calipers. The buyer should verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from lack of use and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking. Additionally, the age of the fluids means they should be checked for degradation, as oxidation occurs over time regardless of the mileage recorded.
