2016 Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line D Auto 2.1L Diesel · TE08 NEE

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 25 September 2025 at 144,331 miles with no recorded defects. While a test failure occurred in July 2024, the subsequent pass just two weeks later indicates that any identified issues were rectified immediately by the owner. The lack of recurring advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the mechanical condition is currently being maintained to a functional standard despite the high-mileage profile. The car has accumulated approximately 144,331 miles over its ten-year life, averaging roughly 14,400 miles per year. This represents consistent high-intensity usage, particularly between January 2023 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered over 44,000 miles in less than three years. Such an accelerated rate of travel places significant strain on heavy components such as the drivetrain, suspension system, and braking assembly. The data gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests shows a period of sustained high use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear on this Mercedes-Benz platform. Given the mileage, inspect the control arm bushes, bushings, and shock absorbers for signs of perished rubber or fluid leaks. The braking system requires a check for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high annual mileage accelerates wear on these consumables. Although the MOT record is clean of recent failures, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for underbody corrosion to ensure high-mileage exposure has not led to accelerated rust in the mounting points.
