2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · YN66 VGP

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 15 June 2026 at 90,612 miles. This test resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The record suggests the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation during the annual inspection process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. A significant gap exists between the August 2019 test at 51,205 miles and the June 2026 test, representing a seven-year period during which the car accumulated nearly 40,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components, seals, and brake fluid systems. Despite the clean MOT history, the 90,000-mile mark necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically verify the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these often show fatigue at this mileage regardless of MOT results. The brake system should be checked for uneven pad wear or caliper sticking, as the MOT only tests for functional failure at the moment of inspection. Further inspection of the chassis for early-stage structural corrosion is also advisable, particularly around the sills and sub mounting points. While the record shows no structural failures, the age of the vehicle makes a visual check for surface rust a standard requirement for any used Mercedes that has exceeded the 90,000-mile threshold.
