2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WU16 AEB

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with all five MOT tests from 2020 to 2024 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2024-06-14 at 95,427 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with prior results that showed no emerging issues. This consistency suggests the owner prioritized regular servicing and addressed minor wear proactively, avoiding significant mechanical or structural failures. No advisories or critical faults were noted across the entire record, indicating the car has been well-maintained relative to its age and mileage. The mileage progression reflects typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,543 miles annually. A notable jump from 44,571 miles in 2020 to 53,358 miles in 2021 (8,787 miles) suggests reduced activity during that period, while the subsequent rise to 69,588 miles by 2022 (16,230 miles) implies increased use. The absence of defects in all tests, despite these fluctuations, underscores the vehicle’s reliability. However, the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs, which may require closer inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushes, which can degrade over time without immediate visible signs. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, is critical for a vehicle of this age, especially if it has been exposed to harsh weather. While the MOT history shows no red flags, physical examination of these areas will confirm whether the car’s maintenance record translates to sound mechanical health.
