2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.0L Petrol · HD66 ADU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 63,387 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in September 2024, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets current DVSA requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,339 miles per year. There was a significant increase in annual usage between September 2022 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 30,359 to 52,264 miles. This period of higher activity coincides with the only mechanical advisories in the recent history, specifically the worn front tyres flagged during the September 2023 test at 47,906 miles. Early records show a brief period of instability in September 2019. The car failed twice within four days due to a faulty horn and incorrect headlamp aim before passing on 23 September 2019. These were minor electrical and adjustment issues rather than systemic mechanical failures. A 2020 entry noted that underbody covers obscured some testable items, which is common for this model's aerodynamic shielding and not a cause for concern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre tread and alignment, as the 2023 edge wear suggests a potential tracking issue. While the record is largely clean, the lack of reported advisories over several years means the buyer must independently verify the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes. Given the vehicle's age, checking for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or suspension mounting points is advised, as these are not always explicitly detailed in a clean pass.
