2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · BY13 AZZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 93,620 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day, though the lack of recorded defects on either entry suggests a potential administrative error or a non-issue item that was rectified immediately. Since the July 2022 inspection, the car has maintained a clean record without any flagged advisories or recurring mechanical degradations. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,360 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 68,208 miles and the August 2025 test at 93,620 miles, the car covered 25,412 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,500 to 9,000 miles per year during that period. This low-range mileage suggests the vehicle was used for moderate purposes, which typically results in predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to the extreme stress of high-mileage commuting. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that do not always trigger a DVSA failure. A buyer should verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and control arms, as these can perish over a decade-old age regardless of mileage. While the record shows no history of corrosion or structural issues, a tactile check of the brake discs for thinning or calipers for binding remains advisable to ensure the mechanical integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
