Our Verdict
Highly recommended for those seeking a well-maintained executive diesel. This vehicle's low mileage and remarkably clean MOT history make it a safe and premium choice in the bracket.
When inspecting this specific C-Class, prioritize verifying the full service history. Given the relatively low mileage, it is vital to ensure that oil changes were performed according to time intervals rather than just mileage markers. Check that the car has been used regularly on motorways to keep the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clean, which is a common concern for low-mileage diesel engines.
amine the condition of the black paintwork, as this colour can show swirls and light scratches easily. Ensure the infotainment system and all electronic aids are functioning correctly, as Mercedes electronics can be expensive to repair. Negotiate if the service history has gaps, but the overall data suggests a well-cared-for example.
The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for high efficiency, typically offering excellent fuel economy on motorway miles. Owners should expect a moderate road tax band depending on the specific Euro emission rating, with insurance groups generally being mid-to-high due to the vehicle's premium status.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes are typically higher than a standard hatchback, but the low mileage here. Annual costs, including fuel and basic servicing, will likely fall between £1,200 and £1,600.
The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with only one failure in 2024 for a defective side repeater lens. This suggests the previous owner was attentive to minor safety defects. However, you should still check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine, which can occur on these models even at lower mileage.
Pay close attention to the tyres; at 51,000 miles, the car may be on its second set, so ensure they are a premium brand to maintain the car's handling characteristics. Check for any wear on the leather upholstery, which can show despite the low overall mileage.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents an excellent opportunity, having covered just over 51,000 miles in nearly ten years. The vehicle history shows a consistently maintained car with a long string of MOT passes and only one minor failure related to a simple side repeater lens. With its 2.2L diesel engine, it is well-suited for long-distance cruising where its efficiency and comfort truly shine.
The C-Class W205 generation is generally regarded as robust, provided the diesel engine service schedule is strictly followed.
