2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK 1.8L Petrol · DA06 UAT

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 90,156 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the August 2024 and September 2023 tests also passed cleanly. The absence of any recorded advisories across five years indicates no escalating wear pattern in the official record. The odometer shows 90,156 miles against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 4,508 miles per year. The car gained only 1,240 miles between the September 2023 test at 87,876 miles and the August 2024 failure at 88,913 miles, then 1,243 miles to the September 2025 pass. This low annual use implies long standing periods, which on a Mercedes-Benz CLK of this age raises the risk of perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on structural underbody members not captured by a clean MOT. A buyer should physically inspect the front and rear suspension arms for cracked or degraded bushes and check coil springs for snapping from inactivity. The brake discs and calipers require confirmation that no binding or corrosion has developed during the low-mileage dormancy. Given the repeated same-day fail-pass entries at 88,913 and 90,156 miles with no defects noted, the buyer should obtain the full VOSA test certificates to rule out data entry errors. No structural or exhaust emission concerns appear in the record, but a 20-year-old low-use Mercedes warrants a professional underside inspection for rust before purchase.
