2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KO16 BFZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean test results. The most recent inspection conducted on 06 September 2025 at 67,520 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure occurred on 21 May 2025 at 66,062 miles, the immediate pass just one day later suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly without indicating deeper mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-annual-use profile, averaging approximately 6,750 miles per annum. Between May 2023 at 51,237 miles and June 2024 at 57,925 miles, the vehicle covered 6,688 miles in just thirteen months. The more recent interval of 9,595 miles between June 2024 and September 2025 shows a slight increase in usage frequency. This low mileage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes mask degradation of rubber components and fluids due to age. Given the lack of recorded advisories or recurring faults in the history, a buyer should focus on physical inspections of age-related wear that MOT tests do not always capture. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs for fatigue, as these can perish over a decade regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often sit for long periods, leading to oxidation on the braking surfaces.
