2017 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · SH08 ACE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 May 2025 at 81,855 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,095 miles per year. The distance covered between 2 May 2023 (53,933 miles) and 19 April 2024 (70,040 miles) shows a slight increase in usage, totaling over 16,000 miles in a single year. However, the current reading of 81,855 miles remains within typical parameters for a 2017 model. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last four years. This absence of flagged issues suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by previous owners. There are no recurring faults to indicate systemic mechanical deterioration. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they meet the minimum legal threshold. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the jump in mileage between 2023 and 2024 likely accelerated the wear on these consumables. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage increases.
