2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.1L Diesel · G12 KAA

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record, with all five recorded tests passing without a single defect or advisory. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 45,303 miles returned a pass, and the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. Nothing in the history suggests any mechanical or structural deterioration has been flagged at any point since December 2022. The mileage pattern is broadly consistent with low annual use, averaging around 5,034 miles per year across the car's nine-year life. That said, the history reveals one notable period of heavier use. Between the November 2023 test at 19,596 miles and the October 2024 test at 32,999 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 13,400 miles in eleven months. That is a sharp acceleration compared with the earlier steady accumulation. Since then, the pace has settled back to about 6,500 miles per year. Because no advisories have ever been recorded, there are no recurring fault trends to track. That is a genuinely clean history. Still, an MOT pass is a snapshot, not a guarantee of future condition. With the car now nine years old, a prospective buyer should personally inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, check the brake discs and pads for lip formation or thinning, and look underneath for any surface corrosion on subframes or suspension mounting points. Tyres, wiper blades, and general fluid levels also warrant a hands-on check, as these are routine consumables that an MOT will not always catch in their early stages.
