2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KP67 CYT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-11-22 at 19,069 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. Subsequent tests in 2020-11-25 (14,523 miles) and 2020-11-24 (14,521 miles) also passed, though the latter failed without recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows stability in roadworthiness, with no critical issues flagged in the last five years. However, the absence of recent testing since 2021 raises concerns about potential undetected deterioration, particularly given the vehicle’s age and low mileage. The recorded mileage of 19,069 miles over nine years equates to approximately 2,119 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This suggests the vehicle may have been stored for extended periods, increasing risks of corrosion, rubber component degradation, and electrical system faults. The MOT history lacks data between 2017 and 2020, creating a five-year gap where maintenance or issues could have gone unrecorded. The 2020 tests, conducted just one day apart, show no defects but do not confirm the vehicle’s condition during the intervening years. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask uneven wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, especially if the vehicle was stationary for long periods. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, is critical given the age, as hidden rust may persist. The lack of recent MOT data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s current mechanical and safety status.
