2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 87% pass first time (all 2017 cars: 80%) Stands out: wheel bearings 5× 5,653 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 81% pass first time (all 2017 cars: 80%) Stands out: ball joint 2.6×, wheel bearings 5.7×, ball joint dust cover 2.9× 4,573 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
