2006 Mercedes CLK220 CDI Sport Auto 2.1L Diesel · AFZ 8138

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass on 18 May 2025 at 232,667 miles, yet the maintenance trend reveals a recurring pattern of pre-pass failures that is neither worsening nor resolving. In the two most recent test cycles the car failed on 9 May 2025 at 232,444 miles and again on 17 May 2024 at 216,255 miles and 21 April 2024 at 215,566 miles, each time with no defects recorded by the tester. This repeated fail-with-no-defect behaviour points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault, though it shows the owner needed multiple attempts to secure a certificate. The odometer advanced from 215,566 miles in April 2024 to 232,667 miles by May 2025, a gain of roughly 17,100 miles over thirteen months and close to the 11,633 miles per year long-term average for a 2006 car. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the sparse record. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest either light workshop intervention or that testers logged no wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes during those visits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's twenty-year age and high mileage. The lack of recorded advisories does not preclude worn coil springs, degraded bushes, or binding calipers that a road test would expose. Verify the reason for the three failure entries with no defects, as repeated presentation failures can mask overlooked emissions or documentation faults not captured in the open data.
