2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 86% pass first time (all 2016 cars: 77%) Stands out: wheel bearings 5.2×, wheels 2.3× 3,400 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 82% pass first time (all 2016 cars: 77%) Stands out: wheel bearings 5.2×, wheels 2.5× 3,298 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
