2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · OV67 SYH

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 109,391 miles. Not a single defect or advisory has been recorded across the entire documented history. This flawless record indicates a vehicle that has consistently met stringent roadworthiness standards, reflecting diligent upkeep and timely replacement of wear components before they deteriorate to failure points. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with sustained high usage rather than sporadic or neglected periods. Between October 2021 at 30,593 miles and October 2024 at 91,950 miles, the car covered roughly 61,357 miles in three years, averaging over 20,000 miles annually during that stretch. The mileage then plateaued, recording just 17,441 miles between the October 2024 test and the September 2025 test. This recent drop in annual mileage suggests a shift in usage patterns, possibly from long-distance commuting to shorter, local journeys, though the overall 12,155 miles-per-year average remains high for a nine-year-old vehicle. Despite the pristine MOT record, the substantial mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of high-wear mechanical and structural components. A buyer should scrutinize the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as 109,000 miles of regular use often induces premature wear that might not yet trigger an MOT failure. Brake discs and pads require close examination for lipping and uneven wear, particularly if the recent lower mileage reflects more stop-start urban driving. Inspect the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion and check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
