2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LP66 HTD

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 January 2026 at 133,847 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they reached a failure threshold, maintaining a clean record over a five-year period. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,400 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 33,922 miles, moving from 85,359 to 119,281 miles. A significant spike occurred between the January 2023 and 2024 tests, where the odometer climbed 19,577 miles in a single year, followed by a more typical annual increase of 3,291 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly for motorway commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods. While the MOT record shows no recorded failures, a physical inspection must focus on components subjected to high-mileage wear. At the 133,000-mile mark, the buyer should scrutinize the condition of the control arm bushes and suspension components for tearing or cracking. The braking system requires a check for thin discs or seized caliper pistons, as high annual mileage puts significant stress on these friction materials. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the chassis for structural corrosion around the subframe mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden degradation has developed that a standard MOT test might have missed.
