2006 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · DE06 URD

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 191,686 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 14 August 2024 at 188,452 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the visible history. Mileage accumulation tracks close to typical use for a 2006 registered car. The record shows 175,075 miles on 1 June 2022, rising to 178,896 by 21 June 2023, then 188,452 on 14 August 2024, and 191,686 by 1 August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles in the last year and about 10,000 per year overall, with no abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps suggesting structural standing damage. The DVSA data flags no recurring faults, advisories, or structural corrosion across any test. A failed attempt on 13 August 2024 at 188,452 miles was followed one day later by a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or retest clearance rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the 20 year age and 191,686 miles. The clean MOT record implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but does not evidence proactive component renewal beyond legal minimums.
