2016 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · FX66 THK

This 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class demonstrates a generally stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 29 December 2025 at 127,056 miles with a minor advisory for a damaged front windscreen. The history shows a minor hiccup two weeks prior on 13 December 2025 at 126,574 miles where the vehicle initially failed due to a seriously misaligned offside front valve stem alongside the windscreen damage, though this was promptly rectified for the subsequent pass. Earlier records indicate occasional neglect of consumable items, such as the 3 September 2019 failure where both front tyres fell below the legal tread depth limit of 1.6mm before passing later that same day. Accumulating 127,056 miles over its ten-year lifespan places this vehicle well above the national average with an annual run rate of roughly 12,700 miles, indicating heavy fleet or motorway usage. Mileage accumulation remained steady through the COVID-19 pandemic years, moving from 76,803 miles in September 2019 to 78,637 miles in September 2020. The pacing accelerated slightly between August 2021 and August 2022 when the car covered nearly 16,000 miles in twelve months, bringing up an advisory for worn front brake discs in the August 2022 test at 107,142 miles. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system, checking the thickness and condition of the brake discs given the previous 2022 advisory and subsequent high-mileage running. The front windscreen requires careful scrutiny to determine if the recorded damage has spread beyond the minor advisory threshold, potentially necessitating a full replacement. Inspect the condition of the steering valves and front tyres closely to ensure that wheel alignment and rubber maintenance have not been overlooked by previous keepers.
