2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FH11 KYM

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-02-10 at 96,385 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the car has not entered a worsening or neglected condition. Recorded mileage sits at 96,385 miles against a 2017 build, averaging roughly 10,700 miles per year, which is typical for this age of executive saloon. The tests show gentle accumulation: 85,433 miles in June 2023, 87,761 by June 2024, then 89,178 at the February 2025 tests and 96,385 by February 2026. A notable point is the 2025-02-12 failure with no defects logged, reversed by a pass the next day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or tester error rather than a mechanical defect. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of deferred consumable replacement. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. The clean MOT trail does not exempt the car from wear on binding calipers or tired tyres invisible to the annual test. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the 2025 duplicate entry warrants confirmation the V5C and mileage are consistent. A pre-purchase check should cover fluid condition, drivetrain mounts, and electronic systems not assessed during MOT. The steady mileage and fault-free history imply reasonable care, but a 9-year-old Mercedes chassis demands scrutiny of rust-prone subframes regardless of test results.
