2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · MH16 JCU

The most recent MOT (2025-05-01) at 99,834 miles is passed, though the condition deteriorates significantly over the past four years. The vehicle has a clear pattern of progressive wear, particularly in the braking and suspension systems. The primary risk pattern is a severe degradation of braking performance and structural integrity, specifically in the front brakes and rear suspension components. This is evidenced by the Front Brake disc wear at 1.1.14 (a) (i) and the rear tyres inner edge wear at 5.2.3 (d) (i). The most recent failure at 99,774 miles indicates that the wear rate has accelerated, likely due to increased hard use or frequent stops. The combination of a failed MOT and a passing one at 99,834 miles suggests that the vehicle may have been used in a way that accelerated wear, or that the wear is currently being mitigated by the passing test. The trend looks to be worsening. The progression from a passing date to a failed date within a 16-month period demonstrates a clear acceleration of mechanical wear. The specific defects identified in the failed entry (front brake disc and rear tyre cuts) indicate that the vehicle is no longer in safe condition for prolonged use. The mileage context supports this: at 99,834 miles, the vehicle is roughly 10 years old.
