2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LL17 AEK

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 23 March 2026 at 54,089 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is steady and predictable. Between the March 2022 test at 34,368 miles and the March 2026 test at 54,089 miles, the car covered 19,721 miles over four years. This averages roughly 4,930 miles per year in the most recent period, which is slightly below the overall lifetime average of 6,010 miles per year. Such a consistent pattern suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The complete absence of advisories or failures since March 2022 is rare for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show no history of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical check of the brake pad thickness and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. Given the lack of structural or mechanical warnings in the DVSA data, the primary focus for a physical inspection should be on service history documentation. Confirming that the engine oil and transmission fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals will validate the clean MOT record. There are no specific red flags regarding structural integrity or mechanical failure based on the available data.
