2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.0L Petrol · F18 FAT

The 2016 Mercedes‑Benz SLC is currently roadworthy, as the July 10, 2026 MOT at 19,560 miles recorded a pass with no defects. All eight MOTs from 2020 through 2026 have been passed without any noted faults, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. The mileage has increased by roughly 1,175 miles per year since the 2020 test (15,891 miles) to the 2026 test (19,560 miles), a pattern that is steady and incremental rather than showing sudden spikes, reflecting consistent, low‑intensity use over the vehicle’s ten‑year life. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically show wear in a low‑mileage, ten‑year‑old SLC: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, front and rear brake calipers for binding or uneven pad wear, brake discs for scoring or excessive run‑out, and the underbody for structural rust or corrosion around the wheel arches and sills. Inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or failed emission levels and verification of tyre tread depth and condition are also advisable.
