2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · 4 PST

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 18,193 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Recorded mileage shows consistently low annual use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car covered 12,293 miles at the 13 October 2021 test, rising to 13,821 by 15 October 2022, 15,756 by 26 September 2023, 17,003 by 9 November 2024, and 18,193 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 to 1,500 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing five consecutive passes and no advisories, which suggests the previous keeper kept the vehicle lightly used and serviced to a standard that avoided test flags. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the long idle periods between use that low mileage implies. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and seizes calipers even when the tester recorded no defects. Check the underbody for rust and verify the condition of tyres and flexible hoses, as rubber perishes with age irrespective of tread depth. The clean record gives confidence, but age-related degradation will not appear on a pass certificate.
