2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · NA65 XRE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent MOT conducted on 6 August 2025 at 80,987 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a curious failure just two days prior at 80,985 miles. While the failure record shows no defects, this suggests a minor administrative issue was rectified immediately or a transient sensor error was cleared upon re-test. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 56,590 miles and April 2024 at 70,163 miles, the car covered 13,573 miles over two years. The subsequent 10,824 miles recorded between the April 2024 and August 2025 tests indicate a regular usage pattern, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components as it prevents the premature degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity, the physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the rubber components and check for signs of brake disc pitting, as these are not always flagged until they reach a failure threshold. The clean record suggests the vehicle has been maintained well by owners who did not neglect basic preventative requirements.
