2006 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · BD56 WRO

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the July 2025 test at 147,299 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with three passes and two same-day failures that carried no listed defects. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on 17 July 2023 at 122,680 miles and 18 July 2025 at 147,299 miles suggest administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, as no advisories or defects appear against either entry. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2006 Mercedes-Benz C, averaging roughly 7,365 miles per year against the 147,299 recorded. The gap between the 2023 test at 122,680 miles and the 2024 test at 132,960 miles shows 10,280 miles covered, then 14,339 miles to the 2025 test at 147,299 miles. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions issues logged across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's twenty-year age and metal components exposed to road salt. The absence of advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs across four years does not confirm their condition, only that the tester raised no concern at test time. Check the rear subframe mounts and front suspension arms for fatigue, and verify the exhaust emissions system against current limits during a warm engine run. The same-day failure pattern implies the seller or tester corrected a non-mechanical blocker quickly; confirm the V5C and test certificate align before purchase.
