2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · K77 UAN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 2nd February 2026 with no defects recorded. When reviewing the historical data, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without major failures. There is a clear pattern of consumable wear, specifically regarding the braking system, which was flagged in multiple consecutive years, but the clean result of the latest test suggests that these items have likely been rectified. With a recorded mileage of 82,767 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,196 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a car of this age and class, suggesting a balanced history of use without the extremes of excessive long-distance wear or the risks associated with prolonged standing. Mechanically, this mileage implies that while the drivetrain should remain robust, the vehicle is entering a phase where wear and tear components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts may begin to show signs of age. Given the recurring advisories for worn and pitted brake discs and thin pads on both the front and rear axles between 2022 and 2025, it is imperative to verify that a full brake overhaul has been completed. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal, which would indicate that the previously pitted discs were not replaced. Additionally, any high pitched squealing or grinding noises during deceleration would suggest that the pads remain thin or that the calipers are not operating smoothly. Attention should also be paid to the tyres, following the 2024 advisory regarding edge wear on the rear tyres. The buyer should inspect the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns, which can be a symptom of poor wheel alignment or failing rear suspension components. Finally, as the vehicle is now nine years old, a thorough review of the service record is advised to ensure that calendar based maintenance, such as brake fluid flushes and coolant replacements, has been performed to prevent internal corrosion and ensure the long term reliability of the cooling system.
