2017 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · KS67 SFJ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 65,835 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 4 December 2023 at 44,834 miles that the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on 5 December 2023 at the same mileage. That single-day reversal suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and no advisories or recurring faults appear anywhere in the chain. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,315 miles against the car's nine-year life, which is typical for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The records show steady accumulation: 35,339 miles at the December 2022 test, 44,834 by December 2023, 55,816 by February 2025, and 65,835 by March 2026. No abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps exist. The clean sheet across every presented entry indicates the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided letting wear items reach test-fail condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished advisories list. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion in the MOT data does not rule out early-stage wear invisible to the annual test. Given the car is now past nine years old, check subframe and sill structural integrity for onset rust, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the claimed careful upkeep. The repeated clean passes from 2022 through 2026 reflect a low-risk purchase on paper. The December 2023 same-mileage fail-and-pass pair warrants a glance at the DVSA failure reason code if available, but the immediate reversal points to clerical cause. On current evidence the mechanical history supports confident onward use with standard pre-sale checks.
