2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · WU16 AHC

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-04-24 at 57,616 miles, with two advisories noted. While this test result suggests the vehicle remains roadworthy, the maintenance trend is concerning, with recurring faults on tyres and suspension. The recent test highlighted slight damage to the front tyres and play in the front lower suspension arm ball joints, which are repeat issues from the previous test. The recorded mileage of 57,616 miles at 10 years old indicates a relatively low annual mileage of 5,762 miles, which may suggest lighter use or long periods of standing. However, the data shows some notable gaps in the mileage pattern, with a 3-year gap between 2019 and 2022, and a 4-year gap between 2020 and 2024. The rapid accumulation of mileage between 2019 and 2020, from 21,804 to 31,324 miles, is also notable. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the tyres, suspension, and brakes. The repeated advisories on tyre damage and suspension play suggest that these components may be nearing the end of their lifespan. The rear registration plate lamp was also inoperative in the 2025 test, indicating a potential electrical issue. Furthermore, the vehicle's history shows a failed test in 2020 due to worn tyres, which may indicate a lack of regular maintenance. It is essential to inspect the vehicle's structural integrity, including the suspension and steering components, to determine if they are showing signs of wear or corrosion.
