2016 Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line Premium D Auto 2.1L Diesel · NE56 AMG

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent pass trend across its history. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 83,857 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet over the last five tests indicates a vehicle that has been maintained well and does not suffer from mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT re-tests. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. There is a period of activity between July 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in just seventeen months, but the usage has since returned to a more moderate pace. The lack of long gaps between testing intervals suggests the car has been used regularly, which is beneficial for preventing brake-seizing, flat-spotting of tyres, and internal degradation of the drivetrain and fluid components. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults or structural rust, a buyer should still focus on specific mechanical wear items common to the C- Class at this mileage. Given the age, a physical inspection of the front control arm bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging is advisable, as these often fail before an MOT advisory is triggered. The brake discs and pads should also be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these components unless they present an immediate safety risk.
