2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KV65 ADO

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 February 2026 at 185,929 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations show the same clean outcome, indicating no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the documented lifespan. The owner has kept the car to a consistent test schedule with no outstanding structural or mechanical concerns flagged by testers. Mileage stands at 185,929 on a ten-year-old 2016 Mercedes-Benz C, equating to roughly 18,600 miles per year which is high for the class. The record charts steady annual accumulation: 122,653 miles in February 2023, 141,669 in February 2024, 168,718 in February 2025, and 185,929 in February 2026. A notable anomaly appears on 25 February 2025 when the car failed at 168,689 miles with no defects listed, then passed the next day at 168,718 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. The clean pass history otherwise implies disciplined upkeep despite the elevated distance covered. Given the high mileage and absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these consumable items degrade silently between tests once past 180,000 miles. Drivetrain components including the automatic gearbox and prop shaft couplings warrant scrutiny for premature wear under sustained motorway loading. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be physically checked, since the MOT record shows no rust findings but testers only examine accessible areas.
