2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Electric diesel · BO15 AAA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 at 64,526 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets testing standards following immediate re-tests. The pattern of failure in February 2025 and January 2026, followed by passes just days later, suggests the previous owner addressed specific minor compliance items or consumable defects that were rectified promptly to ensure legal operation rather than indicating deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between the January 2024 test at 50,154 miles and the February 2025 test at 60,971 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles in thirteen months, while only 3,555 miles were covered prior to the January 2026 test. This low accumulation generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low mileage can sometimes increase the risk of rubber components becoming brittle or brake seizing due to infrequent use. While the record shows no recurring structural or mechanical failures, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and braking system. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rust when stationary. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the condition of the tyre rubber and the integrity of the undercarriage to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental degradation or age-related perish.
