MERCEDES-BENZ C2016 · 2.1L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 51,068 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent trend of pass results dating back several years, suggesting the car has been kept in roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,107 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, rising from 35,281 miles in November 2021 to 51,068 miles by July 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. The only anomaly is a fail and immediate pass on the same day in November 2021, which likely indicates a minor administrative error or a trivial defect rectified on-site. Given the absence of any flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, there are no specific red flags in the data. However, low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to underuse. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and a check for any signs of brake disc corrosion. The lack of advisories over the last four years suggests a diligent previous owner. A buyer should simply verify that the service intervals were met regardless of the low mileage, as oil degradation occurs over time even when the vehicle is not driven extensively.
