2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK 1.8L Petrol · FP06 OHD

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 113,991 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available record. Annual mileage sits low for a 20-year-old car at roughly 5,700 miles per year. The record runs from 97,512 miles on 21 June 2022 to 109,474 miles on 14 June 2024, then 113,991 miles on 23 June 2025. That is about 4,000 miles in the first two years and 4,500 in the latest year, a consistent and undemanding pattern. The only anomaly is a failed test on 21 June 2023 at 105,037 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the same day at the same mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural error rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low use over two decades can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and underbody components even when MOT tests show clean. The absence of advisories means no immediate action is flagged, but rubber perishables and brake caliper seizure remain age-related risks on a 2006 chassis. Check the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition in person, as these are consumables the MOT may pass one year yet fail the next without prior warning. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse fault list offers limited insight into deeper drivetrain wear.
