2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KS16 TOU

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 56,056 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the performance seen over the previous five years. This stable trend suggests a proactive maintenance regime where mechanical failures or structural issues have not reached a threshold of concern during the DVSA testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the May 2021 test at 48,118 miles and the February 2023 test at 51,663 miles, where the car covered only 3,545 miles in nearly twenty months. Since then, usage has remained consistent, with roughly 4,000 miles recorded between the last three annual tests. This low mileage typically indicates light use, which generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-average examples. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a buyer must inspect for signs of age-related wear that mileage misses, such as degradation of rubber components and suspension bushes. Low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods can suffer from seized brake calipers or perished seals. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the integrity of the tyres sidewalls, as low tread depth does not prevent dry rot over a decade.
