2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · NCC 168

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status, with the most recent test conducted on 29 September 2025 at 45,129 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a positive recovery from the significant failures documented in July 2024. The maintenance trend is currently stable, as the absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner addressed the mechanical shortcomings identified during the preceding failed attempt. The vehicle has covered 45,129 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the recorded history, showing steady, incremental usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The jump from 28,964 miles in June 2023 to 37,013 miles by July 2024 represents the most active period of use, followed by a more modest accumulation leading up to the most recent test. There are no concerning gaps in the testing cycle that would suggest the vehicle has been left to deteriorate in storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system, as the 2024 records specifically highlighted worn brake pads and pitted discs. Even though the vehicle passed the most recent test, verify that the discs were replaced rather than simply cleaned, as pitting can often return if the vehicle is subject to light use or prolonged standing. Additionally, confirm the current condition of the rear tyres, as the vehicle failed in 2024 due to tread depth falling below the legal limit. While the engine malfunction indicator lamp issue was resolved to secure the pass in 2024, ensure the engine idles smoothly and that no warning lights illuminate during a cold start or extended test drive.
