2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AF16 HGG

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 35,957 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 23,236 miles in February 2022, rising to 24,195 by November 2022, then 28,354 in October 2023, 32,834 in October 2024, and 35,957 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles per year, confirming light use with no sudden accumulation or testing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust issues at any stage. A clean MOT chain with zero advisories implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though low standing mileage can mask perished rubber components and seized calipers not caught in a static test. A buyer should still inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking, check for structural rust beneath sills and subframes, and confirm brake freedom after the car has stood unused for periods. Given the absence of recorded faults, no recurring mechanical trend requires correction. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on consumable condition and hidden corrosion rather than outstanding statutory failures.
