Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C presents a mixed roadworthiness picture marked by a pattern of recurring suspension concerns and a single failed MOT in early 2024 followed by a clean pass in February 2026. The critical failure on 2024-02-05 involved nearside front suspension arm ball joint play rated at 5.3.4(a)(i) and a major fault of a missing front road wheel fixing (5.2.1(a)(i)), indicating structural attachment issues at the front axle assembly. Despite these setbacks, the vehicle achieved a clean MOT result on 2026-02-16 with no recorded defects, suggesting the underlying problems were resolved before the most recent test. With 213,495 recorded miles on the odometer, this level of usage is substantially higher than typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, raising questions about whether the car has been consistently driven or has spent significant time idle. The mileage figure of approximately 213,495 miles translates to roughly 23,700 miles per year when spread across the nine-year ownership period, representing a notably aggressive annual consumption rate compared to standard usage expectations for a model of this age. There is a conspicuous gap between the 2024 failed MOT and the subsequent 2026 pass.
