2016 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · KB03 ADE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean testing results. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 71,254 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. While a failure occurred in late September 2024 at 66,107 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later suggests that any identified faults were addressed immediately rather than being allowed to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,125 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 8,641 miles, followed by a slightly lower interval of 7,831 miles between September 2023 and October 2024. This steady usage profile reduces the risk associated with long-term degradation of rubber components and seals. The regularity of the MOT tests suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle at annual intervals without significant lapses. Because the MOT record lacks recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the components most prone to wear at this mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often do not appear until a failure occurs. Given the age, checking the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers is also prudent. Furthermore, inspecting the chassis for early-stage corrosion will ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle ages further, despite the lack of structural faults currently noted on the official record.
