MERCEDES-BENZ C2016 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 3 June 2025 at 109,430 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car was maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. While a failure occurred in late June 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the issues were rectified promptly, maintaining a consistent level of mechanical oversight. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady increase of 33,124 miles between April 2022 and June 2023, followed by another 16,129 miles in the subsequent year leading to the June 2024 test. This pattern suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to dry seals or seized components. The 7,695 miles covered since the last MOT last year indicates the vehicle remains in an active operational cycle. Given the lack of recorded advisories over the last three years, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. At over 100,000 miles, suspension arm bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of perished rubber or weeping. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and caliper corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly flag binding issues. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the history, but a visual check for underbody corrosion remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
