Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle appears to be in excellent mechanical condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 July 2025 at 47,506 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, indicating a car that has been kept to a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,751 miles per year. The progression is steady and linear, increasing from 32,077 miles in July 2022 to 47,506 miles in July 2025. This consistent usage pattern suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which reduces the risk of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage examples. The record shows a failure on 27 July 2024 at 42,446 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day with no defects listed. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a quick rectification of a trivial item. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion across the entire history. A physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify the brake fluid moisture content, as these components degrade over time regardless of the low mileage. The absence of any MOT advisories suggests the previous owner has been proactive with maintenance.

Our Verdict

Highly recommended for those seeking a well-maintained executive diesel. This vehicle's low mileage and remarkably clean MOT history make it a safe and premium choice in the bracket.

When inspecting this specific C-Class, prioritize verifying the full service history. Given the relatively low mileage, it is vital to ensure that oil changes were performed according to time intervals rather than just mileage markers. Check that the car has been used regularly on motorways to keep the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clean, which is a common concern for low-mileage diesel engines.

amine the condition of the black paintwork, as this colour can show swirls and light scratches easily. Ensure the infotainment system and all electronic aids are functioning correctly, as Mercedes electronics can be expensive to repair. Negotiate if the service history has gaps, but the overall data suggests a well-cared-for example.

The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for high efficiency, typically offering excellent fuel economy on motorway miles. Owners should expect a moderate road tax band depending on the specific Euro emission rating, with insurance groups generally being mid-to-high due to the vehicle's premium status.

Maintenance costs for a Mercedes are typically higher than a standard hatchback, but the low mileage here. Annual costs, including fuel and basic servicing, will likely fall between £1,200 and £1,600.

The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with only one failure in 2024 for a defective side repeater lens. This suggests the previous owner was attentive to minor safety defects. However, you should still check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine, which can occur on these models even at lower mileage.

Pay close attention to the tyres; at 51,000 miles, the car may be on its second set, so ensure they are a premium brand to maintain the car's handling characteristics. Check for any wear on the leather upholstery, which can show despite the low overall mileage.

This 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents an excellent opportunity, having covered just over 51,000 miles in nearly ten years. The vehicle history shows a consistently maintained car with a long string of MOT passes and only one minor failure related to a simple side repeater lens. With its 2.2L diesel engine, it is well-suited for long-distance cruising where its efficiency and comfort truly shine.

The C-Class W205 generation is generally regarded as robust, provided the diesel engine service schedule is strictly followed.
