2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LO17 WCZ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the October 2025 test cycle, with a clean pass recorded on 12 October 2025 at 74,380 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a peculiar pattern of paired fail-and-pass entries on the same day in both October 2024 and October 2025, each showing no defects recorded. This suggests administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical faults, and the absence of any advisories across all five records indicates no escalating wear concerns. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 2017 registered vehicle. The September 2023 test at 61,040 miles, the October 2024 test at 67,766 miles, and the October 2025 test at 74,380 miles show an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,600 miles, below the 8,264 miles per year norm. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data; the record is sparse but entirely clean of consumable or structural flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion despite the absent advisories. The same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 at identical mileages imply the vehicle may have been presented for test before rectification of a minor non-itemised issue, then cleared within days. Verify the VOSA failure reasons via full DVSA lookup, as the supplied summary logs no defects on those failed entries. Given the clean emissions and structural record through to 74,380 miles, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance. The lack of recurring tyre, exhaust, or binding caliper notes points to reasonable upkeep rather than deferred consumable replacement.
