2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · EA17 AFE

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 9 May 2025 at 101,643 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 11,294 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between May 2022 and May 2023, where the odometer rose from 66,336 to 79,090 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 12,545 miles between April 2024 and May 2025. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has been driven regularly rather than left to stand, which generally benefits the health of the battery and seals. A strange anomaly appears in April 2024, where the car failed on 22 April at 89,744 miles and passed eight days later on 30 April at 90,008 miles. The record lists no specific defects for either entry, which is highly unusual for a failure. This discrepancy suggests a possible administrative error or a minor paperwork issue rather than a mechanical fault, given that no subsequent advisories have appeared. Despite the clean record, a buyer should still manually inspect the brake discs and suspension bushes. At over 100,000 miles, these components typically show wear regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for any signs of corrosion on the underside and verifying the service history for timing chain or transmission fluid changes will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT data.
