2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · WT17 EYL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 71,024 miles passed, it introduced a new advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and unevenly. This indicates a regression from the clean 2023 and 2021 records, suggesting that consumable components are being neglected until they approach failure. At nine years old with 71,024 miles, the car has averaged approximately 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a premium executive saloon. The record shows consistent annual testing, with a jump of roughly 7,700 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 7,200 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady mileage accumulation suggests a predictable usage pattern, but the volume of advisories in 2024 highlights significant wear on friction-related components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 test flagged thin pads on all corners and worn discs across the entire vehicle, indicating a full brake overhaul was likely required or performed shortly after that time. Furthermore, the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in both 2024 and 2025 strongly suggest an ongoing issue with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. You should check for uneven tyre wear across the current set and verify that the alignment has been properly adjusted to prevent premature degradation of rubber.
