2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · G22 KAC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 41,061 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable following a period of clean records in 2024 and 2025. While the most recent inspection identified worn front brake discs, the tester noted they were not excessively lipped, suggesting the components are nearing the end of their service life rather than presenting immediate mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between November 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered only 3,066 miles, followed by a more consistent increase of over 7,600 miles between August 2024 and May 2026. This low annual mileage can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake seizing if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. Records from 2022 and 2023 tests consistently flagged thin rear brake pads and tyres worn to the legal limit or with uneven wear, indicating a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance. Given the recent flagging of worn front discs in the 2026 test, a thorough check of the remaining pads and rotors is necessary to ensure uniform wear. Additionally, the low mileage suggests inspecting the suspension bushes for cracks or checking, as perished rubber can occur due to age regardless of distance driven.
