2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · TR05 ANO

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a broadly stable maintenance trend, having passed the most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 33,085 miles. The tester noted front brake discs worn but not excessively and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on its edge. These are minor consumable and surface-wear items rather than structural or mechanical failures, and no new failure categories have emerged since the 2024 and 2023 tests returned clean. Recorded mileage stands at 33,085 over roughly ten years, equating to about 3,308 miles per year, which is low for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The odometer moved from 16,295 in March 2022 to 17,206 in March 2023, then jumped to 21,369 by March 2024 and 26,664 by April 2025 before reaching 33,085 in March 2026. The sparse early defects and later rise in advisories suggest light initial use followed by moderate recent activity, with no standing-still gaps that would typically accelerate perished rubber or seized components beyond what the record shows. A buyer should physically inspect the offside front tyre for edge wear and sidewall cracking, as the 2025 test already flagged perishing and the 2026 test confirmed close-to-limit tread. The front brake discs require measurement to confirm they remain within tolerance despite the worn advisory. The 2025 test recorded corrosion on both rear brake pipes, though covered in grease or other material, which the owner appears to have treated rather than replaced. Examine those pipes for active rust and verify the grease has not masked progression. Overall, the history implies a previous owner who kept the car lightly used and addressed advisories without major intervention, but the recurring tyre edge wear points to either alignment neglect or consistent kerb-side parking habits worth confirming on inspection.
