2017 Mercedes-Benz C 220 SE D Auto 2.1L Diesel · JV06 FAR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record of consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 1 April 2026 at 86,763 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety-related issues before they could trigger a formal failure or appear in the history. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old diesel vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2023 at 56,539 miles and April 2024 at 75,254 miles, covering nearly 19,000 miles in just fifteen months. However, the usage has since returned to a more moderate pace, covering 11,509 miles over the final two years. This suggests regular use which is generally beneficial for diesel components to prevent carbon buildup and seal degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, corrosion, or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items for this mileage bracket. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the tyres, as the MOT does not monitor these until they fail. Given the mileage, checking the professional service history for oil changes regarding the automatic gearbox fluid and engine health is essential, as the MOT record only confirms basic safety rather than comprehensive mechanical longevity.
