2016 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · OM64 AMG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted on 17 May 2024 at 60,223 miles passed with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately to meet compliance standards. Since that clearance, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without further mechanical or structural failures reported in the database. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-intensity usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 42,666 miles and March 2023 at 55,440 miles, the car covered 12,774 miles, indicating a period of higher activity compared to its annual average. However, the usage slowed significantly to 4,783 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady progression generally limits accelerated wear on high-stress components like the turbocharger and drivetrain assembly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that triggered the failures in January 2022 and May 2024. While the record does not list the specific reasons for these failures, the presence of intermittent failures often points to consumable items such as bulbs, sensors, or minor fluid leaks. Given the low mileage relative to age, check for rubber degradation in the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, as components perish from age rather than mechanical use. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting to ensure that the long periods of standing have not compromised the braking system's integrity.
