2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · KT17 ANP

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 116,401 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the entire documented history indicates a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards. This unblemished record suggests a previous owner who maintained the car diligently, addressing wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The vehicle has covered 116,401 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 12,933 miles annually, which sits above the national average. The mileage accumulation shows a steady, consistent trajectory rather than erratic spikes. Between the November 2021 test at 71,096 miles and the October 2022 test at 83,754 miles, the car covered 12,658 miles in just under a year. The subsequent period saw 20,326 miles added by June 2024, before the pace slowed slightly to 12,321 miles over the following eleven months. This pattern reflects sustained, regular use rather than prolonged standing, which bodes well for the health of the engine and drivetrain. Despite the flawless MOT record, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as 116,000 miles will have subjected them to significant cyclic loading. Brake discs and pads require scrutiny for lipping and wear, while the exhaust system must be checked for corrosion, particularly around welds and mounting points. Tyre condition and tread depth warrant attention, given the high annual mileage. Inspecting the bodywork for stone chips and the underbody for surface rust will confirm whether the structural integrity remains sound.
