2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · OO54 PLH

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on March 5 2026 at 110,254 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car has recorded no defects or advisories across the last four tests. The recorded failure on February 26, 2026 at 109,590 miles is an anomaly given that no defects followed, suggesting an administrative error or a minor technical fault that was rectified immediately before the successful re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 50,259 miles and the 2026 test at 110,254 miles, the car covered over 60,000 miles, indicating a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity. This consistent operation is generally beneficial for mechanical components and seals, as it prevents internal corrosion and drying, though it places standard wear on components nearing the 110,000-mile mark. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for structural rust, suspension bushes, or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear items that the MOT does not cover. A buyer should verify the condition of the control arm bushings and shock absorbers, which often degrade at this mileage interval. Additionally, checking for fluid leaks around the engine and assessing the thickness of the brake discs is prudent, as the MOT record only confirms these parts met minimum safety thresholds rather than being in peak condition condition.
