2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · JOS 55T

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 30 April 2025, at 81,229 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy without any recorded defects or advisories. This consistency across four consecutive tests—all passing without fail—indicates a stable maintenance history, though the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying issues requiring inspection. The latest test occurred just over three months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity window, though it now stands slightly overdue by nearly three months as of 26 July 2026. No recurring faults or advisory notes appear in the record, suggesting the tester did not identify any critical wear patterns during these inspections. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 9,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps between tests, though the intervals between tests vary slightly—from 12 months between the 2024 and 2025 tests to 11 months between 2023 and 2024. This pattern suggests regular but not overly aggressive usage, with no evidence of extended periods of neglect. However, the lack of service records means potential hidden wear in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain bearings cannot be confirmed from the MOT alone. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear areas such as the suspension system—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has seen varied driving conditions. Structural integrity should also be checked for signs of corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, as these areas are common failure points in Mercedes-Benz models of this era. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are in perfect condition, so a professional inspection is advisable before purchase.
