2017 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · X7 NTX

The vehicle currently presents a good roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 September 2025 at 40,227 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully addressed. Since the failure in October 2024, the car has maintained a clean record without any further mechanical failures or structural advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,470 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 21,102 miles in October 2022 to 29,525 miles by October 2023. A more significant gap of 6,478 miles occurred between October 2023 and October 2024. While the low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber-based components hardening or brake seizing if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the offside rear shock absorber to ensure the fluid leak that caused the 2024 failure has been fully rectified and is not currently weeping again. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check the brakes for surface corrosion or pitting on the discs, which often occurs when cars are not driven frequently. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perishing, as age-related degradation can affect these parts regardless of the low mileage recorded.
