2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · SP17 KGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 63,789 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to a more stable state. While the most recent test was clean, the history indicates a period of neglect in 2024 where multiple mechanical issues led to a failure, suggesting the owner only addressed faults once they failed rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 13,859 miles recorded between February 2023 and April 2024, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the previous years. Since that peak, the vehicle has covered roughly 11,500 miles over the last two years. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, but it does not account for the premature wear of rubber components noted in the test records. A buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The record shows thin rear brake pads in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside pitted rear discs in 2023, which suggests the rear brakes may be nearing the end of their life. The fractured offside front coil spring noted in 2024 is a critical failure that indicates stress; the buyer should check for signs of sagging or corrosion on the remaining springs. Furthermore, the uneven tyre wear reported in 2024 indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
