2016 Mercedes-Benz C250 D AMG Line Premium + Auto 2.1L Diesel · FL03 NHX

The vehicle presents a highly stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 87,171 miles. Zero defects were recorded, indicating that all critical systems—brakes, steering, suspension, and emissions—met strict DVSA standards at that time. This unblemished record suggests a conscientious ownership pattern where mechanical deterioration has been proactively managed rather than ignored. The recorded mileage of 87,171 miles aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,700 miles. The progression between tests reveals consistent usage without alarming spikes or prolonged periods of dormancy. Between the May 2022 test at 43,418 miles and the August 2023 test at 58,771 miles, the car covered 15,353 miles, followed by 16,550 miles over the subsequent fifteen months leading to November 2024. The most recent interval shows a slight reduction in pace, accumulating 11,850 miles in just over a year, which remains entirely within normal operational parameters. With no recurring mechanical or structural advisories logged in the official record, the primary focus for a pre-purchase inspection shifts to the inherent wear characteristics of a decade-old premium saloon. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. The braking system requires a close visual assessment for disc thickness and pad wear, while the diesel particulate filter and exhaust system must be evaluated for signs of excessive soot or corrosion typical of high-mileage diesel operation. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of defects, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and the operational health of the automatic gearbox remains prudent before committing to purchase.
