2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · SJ67 FFC

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-28 confirmed the vehicle passed with no defects recorded at 28,655 miles. This aligns with the previous five consecutive MOTs, all of which showed no issues. The pattern of consistent passing suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable mechanical condition over the past four years. No safety-critical defects or advisories were noted in any of the recorded tests. The mileage of 28,655 miles for a 2017 model (9 years old) equates to an average of 3,184 miles per year, which is significantly lower than typical usage. This could indicate the vehicle has seen light use, but it also raises the possibility of prolonged periods of inactivity. Lower mileage does not inherently correlate with better condition, as components like batteries, tyres, and rubber seals can degrade when not regularly exercised. The absence of defects in all MOT records is reassuring, but the low mileage means there is limited evidence of long-term wear on high-mileage components such as brakes, suspension, or the drivetrain. Buyers should assess whether the vehicle has been stored properly, as under-use can lead to hidden issues like seized joints, fluid contamination, or battery failure. Key inspection priorities include checking tyre condition (for dry rot or uneven wear), battery health, and fluid levels.
