2006 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · CX06 EDL

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 61,553 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 61,553 against an age of nearly twenty years, equating to roughly 3,078 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light and consistent use: 52,040 miles on 7 April 2022, 54,125 on 26 July 2023, 56,950 on 25 July 2024, and 61,553 on 15 August 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the four-year span adds under ten thousand miles. The clean sheet across every test means no advisories exist to track a wear trend. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low annual mileage and long standing periods often mask corrosion on structural members, subframes, and brake lines that a pass with no defects will not capture. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for age-related perishing rather than mileage wear. Given the sparse but fault-free record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current without deferred tests. Verify service history independently, as MOT passes alone confirm legal roadworthiness, not mechanical condition or overdue consumable replacement.
