2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.0L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 42,023 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has remained consistently low against the vehicle's ten-year age. The record shows 36,435 miles at the 11 April 2022 test, rising to 37,733 miles in April 2023, 39,362 miles in April 2024, 40,701 miles in April 2025, and 42,023 miles in April 2026. That equates to roughly 1,300 miles added per year, well beneath typical use. The sparse, fault-free history offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work, though such light use combined with long standing periods can conceal aged rubber components and fluid degradation not captured by the test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake calipers, and flexible hoses before purchase. Low annual distance and infrequent cycling of the drivetrain often allow moisture ingress and perished seals to develop unseen. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, exhaust, or structural advisories across the timeline, so no specific defect trend warrants correction. Given the clean pass sheet, the principal risk lies in dormant wear rather than recorded failure. Verify service history matches the low mileage, confirm brake disc condition, and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread loss.
