2006 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · CX06 PFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 31 May 2025 at 142,318 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 18 April 2024 at 132,658 miles. The earlier failure logged on 18 April 2024 at the same mileage and same date shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2023 at 122,859 miles and March 2022 at 111,784 miles also passed with no advisories, confirming a consistent clean history across the last four years. Annual mileage averages close to 7,100 miles, typical for a 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class now at 142,318 miles. The record shows steady accumulation: 111,784 miles in March 2022, 122,859 in March 2023, 132,658 in April 2024, and 142,318 by May 2025. No sudden jumps or dormant periods appear. The sparse but clean MOT entries suggest the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without deferred gaps, though absence of advisories means wear items were either within limits or not scrutinised closely enough to flag. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's twenty-year age and 142,000-mile use. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet test passes without advisories do not confirm absence of incipient wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. Given the clean record, focus physical checks on underbody rust, exhaust emissions at cold start, and binding calipers front and rear. The lack of recorded faults implies reasonable upkeep, but high-mileage Mercedes damping components often degrade silently between tests.
