2006 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · HN56 AFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 114,819 miles with no defects recorded. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing the test shortly after an initial failure, though the lack of recorded defects on the failure certificates is atypical and suggests very minor issues were rectified quickly between appointments. The mileage is low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,741 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the odometer rose from 93,186 to 104,115 miles. The most recent year saw a further increase of 10,704 miles. This suggests the car has transitioned from a period of lighter use to more regular deployment. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points for this model that the record does not highlight. Check for signs of perished rubber seals or leaking shock absorbers, which can occur when a car spends long periods standing. Verify the brake disc condition and ensure there is no binding in the calipers, as the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface rust or seized components.
