2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S Edition 1 Auto 4.0L Petrol · RA17 LWV

This Mercedes-Benz C63 S shows an exceptionally clean MOT history, with the last four consecutive tests resulting in clean passes with no recorded defects. The vehicle’s condition appears to be improving, as the minor tyre-related advisories noted in late 2020 have not recurred in any subsequent inspections. The recorded mileage of 49,292 over nine years averages out to approximately 5,477 miles per annum, which is notably low for a high-performance vehicle of this calibre. While this suggests the car may have been used sparingly, low-mileage performance cars can sometimes suffer from issues related to long periods of standing, such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded fluids. Conversely, the low mileage could simply indicate a well-cared-for weekend vehicle, but it does not rule out the possibility of hard driving during those limited miles. The lack of recurring mechanical advisories is a positive indicator of consistent maintenance and responsible ownership in recent years. The absence of suspension, brake, or structural warnings in the MOT history suggests the car has been kept in good order. When inspecting the vehicle in person, your primary focus should be on the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are high-wear items on an AMG model that may have been replaced recently to achieve the clean MOT passes. Check the service history thoroughly to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in missed time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid changes or transmission servicing. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or leaks that might have been overlooked, and listen for any unusual noises from the drivetrain during a test drive to ensure the engine and gearbox are performing as expected.
