2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · XM61 LAN

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 12 March 2026 at 111,015 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they escalated into the failures typically seen on vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between the August 2022 test at 75,915 miles and the February 2024 test at 97,536 miles, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in eighteen months. Since then, the usage has returned to a more moderate pace, recording roughly 13,500 miles over the last two years. This steady interval suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting from long periods of neglect. Because the MOT record shows no recurring issues with structural rust or mechanical components, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear items common to the Mercedes C-Class. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. Additionally, checking the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear is advisable, as the record does not flag past binding calipers or worn pads despite the significant mileage.
