2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · GL66 OFJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 10 June 2026 at 124,210 miles, where no defects or advisories were recorded. This result reflects a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years, as the car has consistently met testing standards without mechanical failures. The absence of recurring advisory items suggests that previous owners proactively addressed minor issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-frequency usage, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2026, the vehicle covered 20,699 miles, showing a steady annual increase of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles. While this accumulation is above the national average for a decade-old vehicle, the regularity of the mileage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left to sit for long periods. This consistent use often benefits the engine and braking systems by preventing seal degradation and corrosion commonly associated with stationary vehicles. While the MOT test results are clean, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage wear. A buyer must specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, which often reach fatigue around the 120,000-mile mark. Given the high mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for potential binding is also prudent. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for underbody corrosion will ensure that the high-mile use has not exposed the vehicle to excessive salt damage or environmental wear.
