2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AX66 TAV

The 2025‑12‑16 MOT at 100,597 miles passed without any defects, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The record shows a stable maintenance trend, with no new failures introduced since the 2022‑09‑22 test, though recurring tyre wear and steering rack play suggest continued attention is required. Mileage has risen from 67,638 miles in the 2019‑08‑27 test to 100,597 miles in the 2025 test, an increase of roughly 33,000 miles over six years, or about 5,500 miles per year, which is below the typical 10,000 miles per annum for a ten‑year‑old car. The annual testing interval is consistent, with no extended periods between inspections, and the mileage pattern reflects regular use rather than abrupt high‑usage spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify the steering rack inner joint for play, examine the rear and front brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and assess the exhaust system and structural areas for rust, especially around the wheel arches where previous tyre wear advisories were recorded. Particular attention to tyre tread depth and alignment patterns is advisable, given the repeated 5.2.3 (e) tyre wear notices.
