2017 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · YC17 NNR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 December 2025 with 71,745 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears positive following a corrective action taken earlier in the same year. While a failure occurred in October 2025, the subsequent pass indicates that identified issues were addressed immediately to maintain legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 16,786 miles between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, suggesting a period of higher usage. However, the vehicle covered only 141 miles between the October 2025 failure and December 2025 pass, which indicates very low usage or a short trip for the repairs. This low annual mileage in recent years suggests the car has faced less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and rubber components. The failure on 21 October 2025 at 71,600 miles highlights a lapse in preventative maintenance regarding tyres. The nearside rear tyre was below the legal limit while the offside rear showed uneven wear, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should inspect the current tyre set for further edge wear and ensure the geometry is correct. Since no structural corrosion or brake defects were flagged, the primary focus should remain on the condition of the rear suspension components and ensuring the new tyres have not suffered premature degradation.
