2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · AK06 OCG

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 99,050 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the 2022 test. The owner has clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 99,050 against a 20-year lifespan, an average of roughly 4,950 miles per year. The DVSA log shows gentle, consistent use: 89,452 miles on 3 October 2022, 93,681 at the passed 28 September 2023 test, 97,127 on 26 September 2024, and 99,050 a year later. Low annual accumulation implies lighter duty, though the two-day gap between the 26 September 2023 failure and 28 September 2023 pass at near-identical mileage suggests a quick rectification rather than neglect. No structural or mechanical faults were ever listed across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Standing periods common to low-mileage elderly vehicles accelerate subframe corrosion and suspension bush perishing even when MOT testers log nothing. Check coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust hangers for age-related degradation invisible at test. The clean record gives no recurring fault pattern to track. Verify service history matches the low mileage and confirm tyres, wiper blades, and brake fluid reflect proportionate care for a car of this vintage.
