2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · ER64 BOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 85,166 miles passed without defects, it was preceded by a failure artwork to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. This follows a problematic period in 2024 where multiple mechanical and electrical faults were identified, suggesting that issues are often only addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 85,166 miles, the car has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. The mileage shows steady accumulation, with roughly 2,600 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,600 miles covered in the following year. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though it has been subjected to standard environmental wear on rubber and metal components. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension assembly, as a fractured offside front upper coil spring was noted in June 2024. The braking system also shows a history of wear, with pitted and scored rear discs flagged in 2024; while these may have been replaced, a physical inspection is required to ensure the current discs are not thinning and that the calipers are not seizing unevenly. Furthermore, the previous failure regarding the engine management indicator light (MIL) suggests a past electronic fault that should be verified with a diagnostic scan to ensure no lingering fault codes remain in the system.
