2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AJ16 HXM

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 108,952 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 June 2023 at 96,815 miles confirms a two-year run of fault-free examinations. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 108,952 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 10,895 miles per year and within typical use for this age. The odometer moved from 90,810 on 25 May 2022 to 96,815 on 1 June 2023, then 102,878 on 11 June 2024, and 108,952 on 16 July 2025, a steady accumulation of about 6,000 miles annually with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA file is sparse and clean, showing only a failed entry on 11 June 2024 at 102,878 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the same day, implying an administrative or unrecorded retest rather than a raised mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car is now past 100,000 miles and consumable wear becomes more likely. The absence of advisories across all tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the 2024 same-day fail-pass without noted defects warrants confirmation that no latent issue such as corrosion or exhaust emissions irregularity was quietly cleared. Given the fault-free record, structural integrity and drivetrain components show no flagged risk, but a pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sensible. The history implies disciplined servicing, though the unexplained 2024 failure means a verifying glance at the physical test certificate is advised before completion.
