2006 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · C17 KAM

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 172,103 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since November 2021. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with the age of the car. Between the November 2021 test at 151,598 miles and the December 2025 test at 172,103 miles, the vehicle covered 20,505 miles. This averages to roughly 5,100 miles per year over the last four years, suggesting the car is used regularly but not excessively. The absence of MOT advisories over such a long period is rare for a twenty year old Mercedes-Benz. It implies a proactive maintenance regime where the owner likely replaced consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres before they reached the legal limit. There are no recorded issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions to suggest neglected mechanical wear. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as surface rust does not always trigger an MOT failure unless it compromises structural integrity. Given the high total mileage, checking the condition of the automatic transmission fluid and engine mounts is advisable to ensure the drivetrain remains smooth.
