Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus on the service history to ensure that oil changes have been performed regularly despite the low annual mileage, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to different maintenance needs. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the immediate replacement of the front tyres and the potential replacement of the rear brake discs, both of which were flagged in the latest MOT.
Verify that the vehicle has a complete service record. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of battery degradation or perished rubber components that can occur when a vehicle is not driven extensively.
The 1991cc petrol engine provides a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than the diesel equivalents. It will fall into a standard UK tax band for 2017 petrol vehicles, and insurance groups for the C-Class are generally mid-range.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are moderate, though parts for Mercedes-Benz can be premium. When including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, the annual cost is estimated to be in the mid-range for a premium executive saloon.
Pay close attention to the front tyres and rear brake discs, as the July 2026 MOT specifically noted the tyres were close to the legal limit and the discs were pitted or scored. These items will require immediate attention to maintain safety and legality.
Additionally, inspect the suspension arms and headlamps, as aggregate data for the C-Class identifies these as common failure points across the model range. A visual check for any leaks around the engine bay and a test of all electronic functions is also advised.
This black 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has covered 31,392 miles, which is significantly below the average annual mileage for this model. It has a record of five MOT passes since 2022 with no failures recorded. The most recent test in July 2026 indicates some expected wear to the tyres and brake discs.
The C-Class demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 82.4% across 416,682 analysed vehicles.
