2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LF16 AAE

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 at 49,975 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a very high standard. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 4,998 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable over the last five years, growing from 30,172 miles in February 2022 to 49,975 miles by February 2026. There are no erratic jumps in odometer readings or suspicious gaps that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. Because the MOT history is devoid of any recorded faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread depth over a five year period suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. The record shows no evidence of structural rust or exhaust emissions failures. A physical inspection should focus on components that the MOT test may overlook or that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber seals and the condition of the battery, as low-use vehicles can suffer from premature electrical degradation. Verify the service history for oil change intervals to ensure the engine has not suffered from under-use or extended drain intervals.
