2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FP16 VOC

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 138,134 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the five-year MOT history is stable with no advisories or failures at any stage. The mileage pattern shows consistent annual use well above typical averages for the model age. From the 30 June 2021 test at 45,408 miles, the car covered 8,763 miles to 54,171 miles by 29 June 2022, then 19,118 miles to 73,289 miles by 24 June 2023, 32,995 miles to 106,284 miles by 1 July 2024, and 31,850 miles to 138,134 miles by 27 June 2025. This reflects roughly 13,800 miles per year and a marked acceleration in use after 2022. The record is sparse in faults but shows no gaps in annual testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The clean MOT history implies previous owners maintained basic test compliance, yet no data exists on consumable condition between tests. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions require physical verification despite passing results. At 138,134 miles the drivetrain and subframes warrant corrosion checks, particularly on a ten-year-old vehicle with sustained motorway-type use.
