2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · GP54 TAS

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 July 2025 at 40,050 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point in the supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Recorded mileage sits at 40,050 against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 4,450 miles per year. The test on 12 May 2021 captured 16,678 miles, rising to 20,312 by 12 April 2022, then 31,465 on 9 May 2023. A slower phase followed with 39,659 logged on 1 November 2024 and 40,050 on 8 July 2025. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans seventeen months rather than twelve, and annual accumulation drops sharply after 2023, implying extended standing periods in later ownership. The absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake discs means no recurring defect pattern exists to track. Low, intermittent use of this nature commonly allows tyres to perish and brake calipers to seize through inactivity even where the MOT shows clear. A buyer should physically inspect sidewall condition, check for binding fronts or rears after a road test, and confirm underside integrity given the car's lay-up periods. Given the clean record and light mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing without neglect. Prospective purchase still warrants independent verification of fluid intervals and rubber components, as MOT pass rates alone do not evidence scheduled servicing on a low-use premium saloon.
