2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · JS17 ALL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a way pattern of neglected consumable items. The most recent test in July 2025 passed without major defects, but noted an advisory for both the nearside front and rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, there is a tendency to🇯 necessary replacements until they reach the point of failure. At 59,071 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is typical for premium vehicles of this age, suggesting short-distance commuting rather than high-intensity usage. There is a consistent history of annual testing, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. The low mileage suggests that mechanical components may be more subject to age-related rubber degradation and oxidation rather than heavy mechanical strain. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the alignment and suspension geometry, given the repeated reports of edge-worn tyres in both 2022 and 2025. This specific fault often points to worn bushes, bent control arms, or incorrect tracking settings which can lead to rapid tyre scrubbing. Additionally, the 2022 failure regarding non-conforming registration plates and low tread depth suggests a history of reactive maintenance rather than raises care.
