2016 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · MD66 ABX

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 76,657 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single recorded failure or advisory note since June 2021. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,666 miles per year. Usage remained steady between November 2022 at 51,566 miles and October 2023 at 57,071 miles. A more significant increase in usage occurred between October 2024 and October 2025, where the odometer rose from 63,106 to 76,657 miles. This jump of over 13,000 miles in one year suggests a change in usage patterns, but the lack of resulting defects indicates the car handled the increased load well. The absence of any flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across five years of testing is rare. There are no recurring faults to suggest systemic mechanical neglect. The previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle proactively, as typical consumable wear like tyre tread or wiper blades never reached a level requiring an MOT advisory. A physical inspection should still focus on standard age-related wear that MOT tests often overlook. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads, as these are consumables that may be nearing the end of their life given the recent increase in annual mileage. Verify the service history for oil changes and transmission fluid flushes to ensure the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT record.
