2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · GD65 XLJ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 7 October 2025 at 92,698 miles resulting in a clear pass. This record indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared four consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The single failure noted on 28 August 2024 at 78,858 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical failure, given the vehicle passed the same inspection later that day with no defects identified. The recorded mileage of 92,698 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 9,270 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The accumulation of mileage remains consistent, showing no evidence of long-term storage or excessive heavy usage. The frequency of recent tests, specifically the three inspections performed between February 2025 and October 2025, suggests the vehicle has been subject to rigorous oversight, likely due to a change in ownership or a period of preparation for sale. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the brake discs, as these components often show wear at this mileage even if they have not yet triggered an MOT advisory. While the current history is exceptionally clean, the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude the presence of hidden wear in the drivetrain or steering rack. You should verify the service history for evidence of transmission fluid changes and engine oil maintenance, as the MOT record confirms structural and safety compliance but does not reflect the internal mechanical health of the engine or the longevity of complex electronic systems.
