Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class due to its high mileage of 212,069 miles and recurring test failures. While recent tests show passes, the vehicle's extensive wear requires a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.
When inspecting this B-Class, verify all documentation relating to the 2024 and 2026 MOT failures and subsequent rectifications, as the test logs note no specific defects recorded during those sessions. Given the 1991cc diesel engine and high mileage, listen closely for any unusual noises from the drive shaft joints and check the condition of the shock absorbers, which are common failure points for this model. Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the likelihood of impending maintenance.
Running a 2006 diesel Mercedes-Benz with over 212,000 miles will involve significant upkeep beyond standard fuel and insurance costs. While fuel economy from the 1.9L diesel engine can be reasonable on longer runs, insurance sits in higher groupings due to the engine size and age. Maintenance and repair costs are likely to be higher than average due to wear and tear associated with high-mileage vehicles.
Pay close attention to the suspension components, specifically checking shock absorbers and drive shaft joints, which are identified as top MOT failure reasons for the B-Class model range. Inspect the tyres thoroughly across all four corners for tread depth, uneven wear, and age-related cracking. Additionally, examine the engine bay for any oil leaks from the 1991cc diesel unit and check all electrical systems, as older Mercedes-Benz electronics can develop faults over time.
This silver 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class features a 1991cc diesel engine and has covered 212,069 miles, significantly exceeding the model average of 6,107 miles per year. Its MOT history shows failures in January 2024 and January 2025/2026 alongside subsequent passes, indicating that remedial work has been undertaken to keep it on the road. Buyers should approach this purchase with a clear understanding of its age and heavy usage.
The Mercedes-Benz B-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 80.1% across nearly 70,000 analysed vehicles, with tyres, shock absorbers, and drive shaft joints being the most frequent failure items.
