2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.7L Petrol · ND06 DVH

This 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class holds a current MOT certificate valid until March 31, 2027, following a pass recorded at 83,196 miles on March 31, 2026. The vehicle exhibits a turbulent maintenance trend characterised by persistent annual failures prior to clearance. Recurring electrical and mechanical faults highlight a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep by previous keepers, although the most recent test cleared without any recorded advisories or defects. Accumulating just 83,196 miles over its twenty-year lifespan, the vehicle averages a very low 4,160 miles annually. The mileage progression shows consistent, modest usage year on year with no suspicious gaps in the testing timeline. Testing occurred reliably each spring, moving from 71,831 miles in March 2018 to the present figure, which confirms the odometer reading aligns with steady, light deployment rather than long periods of abandonment. Prospective buyers must conduct a rigorous physical inspection focusing on chronic trouble spots highlighted throughout the MOT history. Pay particular attention to the front axle assembly, checking the condition of the constant velocity boot on the offside front driveshaft and the front shock absorbers, which have a documented history of oil misting and rubber degradation. Furthermore, verify the functionality of the engine management system and powertrain diagnostics, as an inoperative malfunction indicator lamp appeared as a recurring failure reason across multiple testing cycles up to 2025.
