2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KD17 BGE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 March 2026 at 60,218 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a clean sweep across the previous five annual tests. This consistent performance suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically plague cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally consistent for a nine-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 31,779 miles and the 2026 test at 60,218 miles, the car covered 28,439 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage profile. This low annual mileage reduces the wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain and suspension bushings, though the lack of significant gaps in mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods which could otherwise lead to seal degradation. While the MOT record shows no failures regarding structural rust, brake efficiency, or suspension components, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of consumables that are not tested annually. At over 60,000 miles, the condition of the brake pads and discs, along with the depth of the tyres, should be verified. Since the record shows no previous advisories for binding calipers or leaking shocks, the vehicle appears to be in excellent mechanical condition, but a check for fluid leaks around the undercarriage remains a standard precaution to ensure the documented history matches the physical reality.
