2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · OV16 UVS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 88,180 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed the mechanical and structural requirements of the car, as no recurring faults or deteriorating conditions appeared over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between December 2021 (76,660 miles) and December 2025 (88,180 miles), the car covered 11,520 miles, showing a steady usage profile without sudden spikes in mileage or long periods of inactivity that often lead to perished seals or seized brake components. The annual intervals between tests suggest the vehicle has been kept on a regular schedule, which reduces the likelihood of neglected wear on drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT record shows no failures related to structural integrity or braking components, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Mercedes of this age and mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade without triggering an MOT advisory until they reach critical failure. Given the consistent mileage, checking for fluid leaks around the engine and inspecting the state of the brake discs is also prudent to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the actual mechanical state of the vehicle.
