2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · SK16 ACV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 at 67,818 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The absence of any advisories across the last four years indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a ten-year-old executive saloon. The vehicle covered 2,692 miles between June 2023 and July 2024, and 3,392 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber components and prevents battery degradation. Because the MOT history is remarkably clean, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag. The tester has not noted any issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the recorded period. This lack of documented wear on consumables is unusual for a vehicle of this age and implies a diligent previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that develop rapidly. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the age of the rubber, as these are common wear items that may not have triggered a failure yet. Inspect the brake pedal feel and check for any fluid leaks under the engine bay to ensure the mechanical integrity matches the clean paperwork.
