2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.0L Petrol · DS17 XEM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 13 May 2025 at 8,799 miles recording a clean pass and no advisory or failure items. Across four consecutive annual tests (2022‑2025) the pattern shows consistent compliance, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than any emerging deterioration. Mileage averages roughly 978 miles per year for a 2017 model, far below the typical usage for a nine‑year‑old S‑Class Coupe. The records show a steady increase: 4,639 mi in June 2022, 5,968 mi in May 2023, 7,634 mi in May 2024 and 8,799 mi in May 2025. No abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps appear, suggesting the car has been driven lightly and stored under conditions that limit wear on consumables, suspension components, and drivetrain parts. Although the MOT history reports no defects, a prospective buyer should still examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of wear on the rear brake discs and calipers, as these items are not always captured unless they exceed statutory limits. Visual inspection for corrosion on the chassis, under‑body panels, and exhaust system is prudent, given the vehicle’s age. Verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, and confirm that all electronic aids and lighting operate correctly, as these checks complement the clean MOT record and ensure no hidden issues have been overlooked.
