2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · LS66 CHD

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 13,098 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure entry on the same day which listed no specific faults. This indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable parameters without any recurring mechanical issues being identified during the annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,310 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 426 miles, moving from 12,672 to 13,098 miles. This extremely low usage suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary between tests. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces specific risks related to rubber component degradation, fluid breakdown, and brake corrosion from lack of active use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage rather than mileage mileage. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or uneven pad wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes and rubber boots for signs of dry rot, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods.
