2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · JO10 RDF

The vehicle displays a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 25 June 2025 at 45,969 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last four consecutive annual tests indicates a rigorous approach to maintenance and proactive servicing. This consistent performance suggests that the mechanical systems have been kept in excellent order, with no recurring failures or underlying structural concerns identified by testers during recent inspections. The recorded mileage of 45,969 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 5,100 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The history shows steady, incremental accumulation without any significant gaps or periods of prolonged dormancy, which often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The single failure recorded on 30 June 2022 at 29,844 miles appears to be a clerical or testing anomaly, as the vehicle passed the same inspection on the same day with no defects noted, implying the initial failure did not stem from a genuine mechanical breakdown. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the alloy wheels, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components despite the lack of heavy operational stress. Given the clean MOT history, the primary concern remains the quality of the engine oil and transmission fluid changes, as the low annual mileage may have led to shorter, stop-start journeys that can accelerate carbon buildup. Verify that the service history matches the MOT timeline to ensure the engine has received the necessary lubrication cycles despite the infrequent long-distance use.
