2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FP16 XGN

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 12 June 2025 at 58,170 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior failure on 3 June 2025 at 58,167 miles was logged with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. Across the five tests from 2022 to 2025 the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, reflecting consistent structural and mechanical integrity. The odometer sat at 40,263 miles in July 2022 and rose modestly to 43,225 by July 2023, then 45,735 by June 2024, before jumping to 58,167 by June 2025. That final year added over 12,000 miles after three years of roughly 3,000-mile annual use, a low overall average near 5,800 miles per year for a ten-year-old car. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though the late sharp mileage rise followed a long quiet period that may hint at prior storage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the 2024 to 2025 mileage surge that can stress dormant components. The absence of corrosion or exhaust advisories in the DVLA data is reassuring, but standing time before the recent use may have allowed underbody moisture or seized calipers to develop unseen. Verify the 3 June 2025 failure reason with DVSA paperwork, since no defects on the record leaves the rejection unexplained.
