2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FE67 YCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related issues. The most recent test on 24 June 2026 at 75,920 miles identified corrosion on both rear brake pipes. While the vehicle passed, the presence of corroded pipework covered in material suggests the beginning of degradation in the braking system, contrasting with the clean records from 2023 and 2025. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 42,290 miles and June 2026 at 75,920 miles, the car covered over 33,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable use. This regularity generally suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the premature failure of rubber components despite the minor issues seen in the latest inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine the extent of the corrosion on the brake pipes. Because the tester noted these pipes were covered in grease, there may be an attempt to hide surface rust, necessitating a close look at the structural integrity of the metal lines. Additionally, the history of sidewall cuts on the front tyres across 2024 and 2026, combined with inner-edge wear noted in 2024, indicates a potential issue with suspension alignment or worn bushes that requires professional attention.
