2016 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · LP16 AEW

The vehicle presents a strong profile of roadworthiness based on the most recent inspections. The February 2026 test at 104,373 miles returned a clean pass with no defects, indicating that the current owner is maintaining the car to a high standard. This follows a period of clean passes in 2025 and 2023. While a failure occurred in February 2024 at 90,425 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the mechanical issue was identified and promptly rectified rather than being allowed to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. This regular usage suggests the car runs frequently, which often benefits the engine seals and battery health compared to long periods of standing. Between the March 2025 and February 2026 tests, the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles, showing a steady and predictable driving habit. The lack of recurring advisories in the last three tests is particularly notable, as it suggests components such as suspension bushes, brake components, and exhaust systems remain in good condition despite the higher mileage. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the underbody for surface corrosion, as the MOT only inspects structural integrity when it reaches a point of concern. However, the data indicates a vehicle that has been well-looked after. The transition from the 2024 failure to three consecutive clean passes implies a proactive approach to maintenance, which is a positive indicator for a Mercedes-Benz of this age and mileage.
