2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Hybrid electric · FV66 AHP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT in March 2026 at 84,736 miles. The maintenance trend shows a transition from recurring mechanical wear to minor lighting adjustment issues. While the most recent test involved a failure due to headlamp misalignment, this was rectified immediately to result in a clean pass. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing specific defects rather than allowing the vehicle to operate with known faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of distance between tests, with 7,515 miles covered between early 2023 and 2024, and another 2,985 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular usage reduces the risk of internal component degradation associated with long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for engine seals, rubber bushings, and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and suspension assembly. The record flags a loose offside front steering rack inner joint in both January 2024 at 77,500 miles and again in January 2025 at 80,485 miles. Although this was not noted in the latest test, the recurring nature of this fault indicates a component that may be nearing total replacement. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the rear inner tyres in 2024 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn trailing arm bushes, which warrants a thorough check to ensure the vehicle's suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
