2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FY67 LHO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 5 November 2025 at 35,491 miles. The test history shows a stable trend with no recorded defects across the four successful examinations conducted between May 2023 and November 2025. The failure recorded on 10 May 2025 remains an anomaly, as the record indicates no specific defects were logged before the vehicle passed four days later on 14 May 2025. Total recorded mileage of 35,491 over nine years equates to an average of approximately 3,943 miles per annum. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. While the MOT history is clean, low mileage does not preclude the degradation of rubber components, seals, or lubricants that typically age regardless of distance covered. The lack of recurring advisories indicates that testers have not identified chronic issues with suspension geometry, brake efficiency, or structural corrosion during the recent inspection cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during long periods of inactivity. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers or seized sliding pins. Inspect the sidewalls of the tyres for age-related cracking or perishing, even if the tread depth remains legal. Finally, verify the integrity of the suspension bushes and exhaust hangers, as these rubber elements can harden or crack over time despite the absence of high-mileage wear. Buying score: 85. Risk level: Low.
