2016 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · D25 RAB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 23 February 2026 at 83,274 miles, with a clean result and no advisories. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, showing no recurring defects, corrosion issues, or mechanical faults. The only anomaly is a failed test on 19 February 2026 at 83,179 miles, where the DVSA entry records no defects; this suggests an administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing cleanly four days later. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,300 miles per year against a ten-year lifespan, which is typical for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The record shows steady accumulation: 58,840 miles in April 2023, 68,967 by April 2024, 78,164 in February 2025, and 83,274 by February 2026. No rapid jumps or standing gaps appear. The sparse five-entry history contains only passes aside from the unexplained February 2026 failure, indicating the previous owner kept the car to test standard without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given Mercedes aluminium and steel mix can hide moisture damage not caught in a visual MOT. Check brake disc wear and caliper operation despite no advisories, as the 10,000-mile test spacing can mask binding calipers between tests. Verify the February 2026 failure cause with the test station, since a no-defect fail is irregular and may reflect a documentation error worth confirming before purchase.
