Got a specific Mercedes Benz C350 Sport Premium + E Auto you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This C350 is a serious reliability concern: only 4.5% pass MOT first time versus the UK average of 80%, and the hybrid variant performs even worse at 2.2%. While dangerous defects are mercifully absent, the catastrophically low pass rate suggests persistent issues that accumulate across the fleet.
At around 78,000 miles for a 2016 model, these cars are running relatively low mileage, yet they're still failing MOT repeatedly — which points to design or component problems rather than age-related wear. If you're considering this model, budget heavily for immediate remedial work post-purchase and obtain a pre-buy inspection from a Mercedes specialist, because the MOT data indicates this isn't a case of neglected examples but systemic failure across the model line.
We have 255 2016 Mercedes Benz C350 Sport Premium + E Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
