2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · 1188 JG

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 33,264 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage remains low for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 19,883 miles in November 2021, rising to 23,180 by November 2022, 26,155 in November 2023, 29,812 in November 2024, and 33,264 in November 2025. That equates to roughly 3,300 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean test sheets across this period suggest the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it to a standard that satisfied examiners without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage combined with long standing periods can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody structures even when the tester records no defect. The absence of advisories means no specific component was flagged, but aged rubber mounts and dormant calipers warrant hands-on checks. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on structural integrity, fluid condition, and any perished seals. The MOT data shows no recurring fault trend to monitor, yet the age alone justifies verifying that light use has not masked hidden deterioration in mechanical components.
