2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · WX67 WVC

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 April 2025 at 22,219 miles. The tester recorded zero defects during this most recent assessment, mirroring the flawless outcomes of every preceding MOT. This unbroken chain of defect-free tests indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard, with no recurring faults or emerging structural concerns flagged by the DVSA. The mileage profile reflects exceptionally light use for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging just 2,469 miles annually. Between the October 2021 test at 9,111 miles and the April 2022 test at 10,066 miles, the car covered a mere 955 miles over six months. Subsequent annual intervals show a gradual reduction in usage: 5,065 miles accrued between 2022 and 2023, 3,942 miles between 2023 and 2024, and only 3,146 miles between 2024 and 2025. Such low mileage often points to short, infrequent journeys, which can prevent fluids from reaching optimal operating temperatures and may lead to premature corrosion of exhaust components or brake discs despite the lack of MOT advisories. Although the MOT record contains zero advisories or failures, the low annual mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from standing rather than wear. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as rubber perishes with age and lack of use regardless of tread depth. The brake discs and calipers require checking for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit idle, which can cause binding or juddering even when pad life remains substantial. Suspension bushes and seals should also be inspected for perishing, as a lack of regular flexing can cause the rubber to harden and crack prematurely.
