2006 Mercedes-Benz C 320 3.0L Diesel · KU06 WCS

The most recent MOT on 30 April 2025 at 130,561 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. The earlier failure on 12 February 2022 at 108,349 miles, followed by consecutive passes in 2022, 2023 and 2024, suggests the issue was remedied and the maintenance trend is now stable. Mileage has risen from 108,349 miles in early 2022 to 130,561 miles by April 2025, an average of roughly 7,400 miles per year over the last three years. Across a 20‑year lifespan this equates to about 6,500 miles annually, a figure typical for a vehicle of this age and class. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, implying consistent usage rather than prolonged storage or intense short‑term mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the brake system, paying particular attention to disc thickness, pad wear and any signs of binding calipers, as the 2022 failure may have been related to braking components. Inspection of suspension elements such as bushings, coil springs and anti‑roll bar links is advisable, given the age‑related wear that can develop unnoticed. Tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity and uniform wear patterns must be checked, as consumable wear is not reflected in MOT data. Finally, a visual survey for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches and under‑body, together with a quick test of exhaust emissions, will confirm that no hidden structural or environmental issues have arisen since the last recorded test.
