2016 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · JL15 AND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 16 June 2026. The maintenance trend appears overall stable, though a significant failure recorded just one day prior indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. While the car maintained a clean record for the previous three years, the immediate resolution of tyre-related defects suggests that the owner is reactive to safety-critical failures once identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, recording 45,240 miles which equates to an average of approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a visible gap in usage between August 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered only 1,971 miles in nearly ten months. While low mileage typically suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing can sometimes lead to dry-related issues or the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals and suspension mounts. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recent failure noted an offside front tyre worn to the edge, which often indicates an issue with tracking geometry or worn control arms. Given the low mileage, the tyres should also be checked for age-related cracking or flat spotting despite having tread. An inspection of the brake discs and calipers is advised to ensure that the way use has not resulted in surface corrosion or seized components.
