2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · SF02 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record following a singular electronic failure. The most recent test on 31 January 2026 at 89,558 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet minimum standards. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the immediate requirements of annual road testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 22,965 miles, representing a significant period of high usage compared to the 12,839 miles recorded in the preceding year. Despite this spike in activity, the total mileage remains under the 90,000-mile mark for a ten-year Mercedes, which generally limits excessive wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The only failure in the documented history occurred on 29 January 2024 at 53,940 miles due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp. While the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, a buyer should verify that the engine management system remains free of intermittent fault codes or sensor errors. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories for corrosion or brake wear, the physical inspection should focus on common Mercedes-Benz wear points, such as the condition of the front control arm bushes and the state of the brake discs to ensure no excessive rust has developed during periods of lower use.
