2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AS11 XHS

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 February 2026 at 85,556 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. Following a brief failure in early February 2024, the vehicle has maintained two consecutive clean passes, suggesting that any previously identified issues were promptly and professionally rectified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Data shows a steady accumulation of use, moving from 68,727 miles in February 2023 to 82,738 miles in February 2025, and reaching 85,556 miles by the February 2026 test. This regular usage interval suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to the corrosion or seized components typically associated with long periods of inactivity. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for this age and model. Given the mileage, focus attention on the condition of the front suspension bushings and coil springs, which can perish over time on Mercedes-Benz chassis. The record shows no history of binding calipers or structural corrosion issues, but checking the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting remains advisable to ensure the owner has maintained the braking system effectively. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface rust or oil leaks, though the MOT history has not flagged any structural integrity concerns to date.
