2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FX16 EYD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 July 2025 at 67,152 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 6,700 miles annually. Between August 2022 at 48,865 miles and July 2025 at 67,152 miles, the car covered 18,287 miles, reflecting steady, low-intensity usage. The short interval between the August 2023 failure and its subsequent pass indicates a prompt re-test after a minor issue, though the overall low mileage limits the typical wear on heavy drivetrain components often seen in higher-mileage vehicles. The single failure on the record occurred on 3 August 2023 at 56,555 miles, just five days before a scheduled annual test. While the specific defect is not detailed in the summary, the immediate proximity to the following pass suggests a minor consumable item or a simple bulb replacement was rectified. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension components, such as control arm bushes, as low-mileage cars can suffer from rubber cracking over age regardless of distance. Given the lack of advisories in the most recent tests, the structural integrity and braking system appear well-maintained based on the available DVSA data.
