2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · JA67 AND

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on April 24, 2025, at 44,505 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying non-conformances flagged by the tester, ensuring the vehicle remained legal rather than allowing mechanical issues or safety defects to accumulate. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 44,505 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,945 miles per year. This low-usage profile typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average examples. The gap between the September 2023 test at 36,863 miles and the May 2024 test at 40,753 miles shows an accumulation of nearly 4,000 miles in eight months. Low mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between services. The provided MOT history lacks records of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, which is a positive indicator for a Mercedes of this age. However, because the record shows two instances of immediate failure without specific defect descriptions listed in the summary, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the high-wear areas. Focus on the state of the brake discs for pitting or corrosion caused by low use, and inspect the integrity of the lower front suspension control arm bushings. Checking the age of the tyres is also essential to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in the rubber developing cracks despite adequate tread depth.
