2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · GU17 YFG

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 46,471 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests on 15 November 2024 at 43,286 miles, 20 November 2023 at 39,697 miles, and 22 November 2022 at 37,330 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. Annual mileage averages 5,163 across the recorded history, low for a 2017 car now nine years old. The odometer moved only 3,141 miles between November 2022 and November 2024, then 3,185 miles to the November 2025 test. Such low use implies light commuting or extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished seals to develop unseen despite clean MOT sheets. No recurring faults, advisories, or structural concerns appear in the DVLA data, so the buyer faces no flagged mechanical trends. The same-day fail with zero defects warrants a check of the test centre's reason code to rule out a documentation error. In person, inspect suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity for rust given the car's low-use profile. Verify tyre sidewall condition and check for fluid leaks around calipers and drivetrain, as standing vehicles often hide such issues from annual testing.
