2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · XY60 NAS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 54,029 miles passed, but flagged an advisory for the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates that while the car meets minimum safety standards, basic consumable maintenance is reaching a point of requiring attention following a clean record in the previous year. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 28,587 miles and October 2025 at 54,029 miles, the car covered roughly 25,400 miles, suggesting steady but light usage. However, the low mileage correlates with the degradation of rubber components, as seen in the 2021 test at 23,005 miles where both front tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment due to the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 advisory. The history also shows that rear brake pads were wearing thin in 2023 at 35,593 miles, so the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs require verification. Given the low mileage and age, a physical check for corrosion on the brake lines and perished rubber bushings is essential, as these components often suffer on vehicles that sit for extended periods between uses.
