2006 MERCEDES-BENZ CLK3.0L Diesel

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 25 November 2025 at 179,685 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and the vehicle carries a valid MOT roughly seven months before the current date. Prior to that pass, the car failed on 1 November 2025 at 179,674 miles, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 8,984 miles, consistent with typical use for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The records show 161,974 miles in November 2023, rising to 170,462 by 28 November 2024 and 179,674 by 1 November 2025. This reflects steady accumulation of roughly 8,500 to 9,200 miles per year with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, recording no worn tyres, corroded structures, or failing emissions across the five entries. The repeated fails with zero recorded defects on 1 November 2025 and 28 November 2024 suggest the previous owner presented the car without resolving a non-itemised refusal, possibly paperwork or number-plate legibility, not suspension bushes or brake discs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, steering joints, and underbody corrosion given the age and 179,685 miles. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the MOT trail, so serious structural or drivetrain risks are not evidenced by the official record. Verify in person that brake calipers are free, exhaust mounts are sound, and tyre sidewalls carry no unseen cracking before purchase.
