2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent trend of clean passes. The most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 63,915 miles was completed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back several years, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old car. Between the February 2023 test at 45,244 miles and the February 2026 test at 63,915 miles, the car covered 18,671 miles. This averages roughly 6,223 miles per year over that three year window. The lack of sudden spikes or long periods of dormancy suggests regular, predictable usage. The record shows a single failure on 7 February 2023 at 45,244 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects, suggesting a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue on the day. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The absence of advisories regarding tyre tread or brake pad wear over four consecutive years is unusual and implies a proactive approach to consumable replacement. A physical inspection should focus on the areas the MOT tester does not always scrutinize in depth. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the auxiliary belts. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the lack of corrosion flags, a manual check of the steering rack and suspension mounts is advised to ensure no wear has developed since the February 2026 test.
