2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · H21 PAG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 66,521 miles passing with only the near‑side and off‑side front brake discs recorded as worn but not excessively. The same brake‑disc advisory appeared at the 27 November 2024 test, indicating a stable maintenance pattern rather than a deteriorating one; no new structural or emission failures have emerged since 2021. Mileage averages roughly 6,650 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car. A notable jump occurred between 11 September 2020 (17,637 miles) and 26 October 2021 (35,555 miles), suggesting a period of higher annual mileage, but subsequent intervals show more modest increases, culminating in the current 66,521 miles. The record contains no large gaps, and the mileage progression appears consistent after the early‑2021 surge. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake discs, confirming they remain above the minimum thickness and are free of scoring. Inspection of the rear brake pads is advisable, given the thin‑pad advisory on 26 October 2021, to ensure they have been replaced. Front tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity should be checked, as the 11 September 2020 and 5 December 2019 tests flagged edge wear and cracking. Examine the suspension for any loosened bushes or worn coil springs, and look for corrosion around wheel arches and chassis members, especially where under‑trays were previously fitted and may have concealed pipe or brake‑line condition. A thorough visual and tactile assessment of these areas will confirm whether the vehicle’s mechanical health matches the stable MOT history.
