I am considering to buy 1995 c280 2.8 L engine with 6 cyclinder and meter reading is about 2,46000 km. I checked on carjam website that this car might be failed WOF inspection 3 times in last three years. So do I still need to consider c280 or look for another one?

As I alluded to in your earlier question, this is an old European car with a high mileage, so it is high risk whichever way you look at it.
However, any car can fail a WoF, but it depends on the nature of the failure whether it's a serious problem or not. eg; Failing on a worn tyre is not a big problem but structural rust is.
Unless you are an enthusiast, prepared to work on the car or spend money on it, this isn't really the right car to buy as everyday transport, expecting reliable motoring.
