2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.1L Diesel · GU17 XMB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent passing record over the last six years. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 46,759 miles passed without any failures, though the tester noted both rear tyres were approaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This represents a shift from the previous three years between 2023 and 2025 where the vehicle recorded no defects or advisories. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 46,759 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per annum. The data shows a very steady usage pattern, for example, only 4,245 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,619 miles between 2025 and 2026. This low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown during stationary periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the edge wear noted in the March 2026 test may indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the cuts to the front tyres in 2021 were minor, the recent advisory on the rear tyres suggests they are now due for replacement. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake failures, the primary concerns should be checking the brake discs for surface rust from inactivity and ensuring the low mileage has not caused the tyres to seize or age prematurely.
