2006 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LR06 GKA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT status is currently significantly out of date. The most recent recorded test on 11 October 2022 at 120,545 miles was a clean pass with no recorded defects. Given that today is 26 June 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly four years without a formal inspection. The historical lack of advisories in that final test suggests the previous owner maintained the mechanical components to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between October 2019 and October 2020, the car covered only 536 miles, indicating a period of very light use or storage. Usage increased significantly to over 17,000 miles between the 2020 and 2022 tests, showing a return to regular driving before reaching 120,545 miles. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid breakdown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as the MOT record has been silent for nearly four years. This generation of Mercedes is prone to corrosion on the subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust system, which cannot be verified without a current test. Inspect specifically for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers that may have developed during the recent period of inactivity. Because the last pass was in 2022, the current state of the tyres and brake components remains unknown and requires immediate mechanical assessment.
