2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · J1 LOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 February 2026 at 55,459 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, indicating that the mechanical and structural components monitored by the tester are currently maintaining a passing standard without recurring failures in the primary safety-critical systems. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. There is a visible gap in the records between October 2022 and March 2024, during which the car covered 8,022 miles. Since the March 2024 test, the vehicle has covered 12,293 miles in over two years. This low usage suggests the car likely sees short journeys or sits stationary, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if not managed, despite the low odometer reading. The only failure on record occurred in October 2022 at 35,144 miles due to all four tyres being below the legal tread limit or showing uneven edge wear. While the owner addressed this immediately to secure the subsequent pass, a buyer should inspect the current tyres for continued alignment issues to ensure the previous wear pattern has resolved. Given the 19-inch low-profile tyres and the low annual mileage, checking for flat spots or age cracking on the sidewalls is essential, as these are common in vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.
