2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · G13 WAN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a successful MOT test on November 25 2025 at 72,775 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed inspections following brief failure periods. While the history shows two instances of failure, the immediate re-tests on the following days suggest that any issues were minor and rectified quickly by the owner rather than indicating deep-seated mechanical neglect or structural decay. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,278 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 6,669 miles covered between August 2024 and December 2024, indicating a short period of higher usage. However, the vehicle then covered only 6,656 miles in the eleven months between December 2024 and November 2025. This relatively low annual mileage for its age generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain components and heavy-duty suspension bushings typically associated with high-mileage Mercedes-Benz models. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in August 2024 and November 2025, although the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures. These rapid passes often point to consumable items like bulbs, wiper blade condition, or minor fluid leaks. Given the age of the car, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframe and the condition of the control arms is advisable. You should also verify the brake rotors for binding or uneven wear to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
