2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · TB02 JUG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on April 11 2026 at 134,868 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates the current mechanical state meets minimum legal standards, yet the history reveals a pattern of recurring component wear. In the July 2025 test at 122,319 miles, the tester identified play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. This issue was addressed before the following test, as no further suspension faults appeared in the 2026 record. With 134,868 miles recorded over nine years, this Mercedes-Benz has averaged approximately 15,000 miles annually. This high rate of use typically accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components and consumables. The record from the July 2024 test at 104,503 miles shows both the nearside and offside front tyres were reaching the legal limit, while nearside rear brake pads were noted as thin. These findings suggest the previous owner maintained parts only as they reached the end of their service-life rather than performing preventative replacements. The mechanical history shows a stable trend regarding structural integrity, as no corrosion-related failures have been flagged to date. However, the July 2023 test noted a worn prop shaft flexible coupling at 77,685 miles which is a common wear item for item. A buyer should specifically inspect the current condition of the suspension bushings and brake discs, as the high mileage and previous advisories indicate significant stress on the drivetrain and braking systems.
