2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · OV17 XKH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on December 2, 2023 at 39,324 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately. Since the subsequent pass, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,369 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 20,513 miles and December 2023 at 39,324 miles, the car covered 18,811 miles over two and a half years. This indicates low-intensity usage, which typically results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from age-related degradation, such as perished rubber components or brake fluid moisture ingress, if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade with time rather than just distance. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these can become brittle regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use of the brakes often leads to corrosion on the rotor surfaces. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres and the condition of the wiper blades, as rubber can perish even when the tread depth remains sufficient.
