Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low annual mileage recorded, you should carefully examine the service history to ensure the oil has been changed at regular intervals regardless of distance. For diesel engines used infrequently, check for evidence of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration or any related warning lights, as low-mileage diesel cars are more prone to soot buildup from short trips.
Verify the operation of the retractable hardtop roof to ensure it opens and closes smoothly without hesitation. When negotiating, use the lack of aggregate reliability data to ensure you have a comprehensive service record that justifies the premium associated with the Mercedes-Benz brand.
The 2143cc diesel engine offers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, typically providing better MPG than the petrol variants of the SLC. Road tax will be based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions from 2016, and insurance costs will reflect the vehicle's value and performance bracket.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles are generally higher than average due to the cost of genuine parts and specialist labour. You should budget for annual servicing and the eventual replacement of wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres.
Inspect all four tyres closely; while the 2025 MOT failure for a bulge in the nearside rear tyre was resolved, it is worth checking the remaining tyres for similar structural issues or uneven wear. Ensure the tyre brands are consistent across the axles.
Check the seals around the folding roof for any signs of perishing or leaks. Finally, perform a cold start to listen for any unusual engine noises or smoke from the exhaust, which can provide clues about the health of the diesel system and turbocharger.
This 2016 silver Mercedes-Benz SLC is powered by a 2.1L diesel engine and has covered 47,686 miles as of its last MOT in May 2026. The MOT history is notably clean, showing four passes and only one failure in five years. The low overall mileage for a ten-year-old vehicle makes it an attractive proposition in its class.
Specific aggregate MOT data is unavailable for the SLC, but this individual vehicle's record shows consistent pass rates.
