2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · KS65 LVP

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 63,778 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the full MOT history, with every annual examination from 13 January 2023 through to the 2026 test returning a pass and no advisories raised. A failed entry logged on 27 January 2026 at the same mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass on the same day confirms the car cleared the requirements. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,378 miles per year against the vehicle's ten-year age. The records show steady, low accumulation: 53,496 miles in January 2023, 56,463 in January 2024, 60,282 in February 2025, and 63,778 by January 2026. No abrupt jumps or standing gaps appear in the sequence. The sparse, defect-free ledger suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current without deferred items reaching the test bay. With no advisories or faults flagged across five consecutive tests, the DVSA data gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underbody corrosion, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as MOT passes at low mileage can mask slow degradation invisible to the annual test. The same-day fail-and-pass in January 2026 warrants a check of the VOSA refusal reason to rule out a documentation error rather than a concealed defect. Given the clean trajectory and light use, the car reflects disciplined ownership, but low annual miles can allow moisture ingress and perished rubber to develop unnoticed.
