2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · HN67 LDA

The vehicle remains in a stable roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 October 2025 at 81,149 miles. While the car has secured consecutive passes, the recurring advisory regarding the nearside rear light unit damage suggests a lack of attention to minor exterior maintenance over the past three years. This persistent fault, noted consistently from 2022 through 2025, indicates that the previous owner prioritised essential mechanical function over cosmetic or minor electrical repairs. The recorded mileage of 81,149 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 9,000 miles annually, which aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The accumulation of mileage has been remarkably consistent, with roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles added between each annual inspection. This steady usage profile is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may have suffered from long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the drivetrain and ancillary components have remained in regular operation. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre geometry. The 2023 test flagged all four tyres for uneven wear, which often points to neglected tracking or wheel alignment issues. Furthermore, the history of brake disc wear noted in 2021 and 2022 suggests that the vehicle may be nearing the end of its current service life for these components. You should verify the condition of the discs and pads during your inspection, as they were last flagged as worn several thousand miles ago. Finally, ensure the nearside rear light cluster is fully functional and free of moisture ingress, as the long-standing damage reported by testers could have compromised the integrity of the electrical connections.
