MERCEDES-BENZ C2016 · 2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 2 June 2025 at 41,305 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in June 2024, the immediate retest pass without defects suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to return the vehicle to the road. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,130 miles per year. There is a visible gap in the records between October 2022 at 33,267 miles and June 2024 at 38,433 miles, where the car covered roughly 5,000 miles in nearly twenty months. This low annual usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes or brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific cause of the 2024 failure at 38,433 miles, as the provided record does not detail the exact mechanical fault. Given the low mileage, it is essential to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently. Additionally, check the sidewalls of the tyres for signs of cracking, as age-related rubber degradation occurs regardless of the low tread depth.
