2016 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · AN11 ALV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2026 MOT at 81,343 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable over the past four years, as all tests from 2021 to 2026 showed passing results with no recorded faults. This consistency suggests the previous owner maintained the car to standard, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,134 miles annually. Tests spaced 12–14 months apart reveal steady accumulation without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity, which reduces risk of component degradation from standing. The 2022–2023 gap between tests at 58,877 and 69,010 miles reflects a minor 10,133-mile increase over 16 months, which is within normal parameters for this model. No irregularities in wear patterns are indicated by the MOT record. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these components often degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear, as minor issues may develop unnoticed. While no corrosion or structural faults were noted, the absence of recorded exhaust emissions tests limits insight into long-term engine health. Overall, the MOT history confirms reliable maintenance but does not eliminate the need for a pre-purchase mechanical survey.
