AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 12,882 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, coupled with a significant mileage anomaly, raises serious questions about its true condition and past maintenance.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 54,377 miles over 17 years (3,289 miles/year average) is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, with a suspiciously low annual usage pattern.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 54,377 miles over 17 years (3,289 miles/year).
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2018, 2024) and suspension arm failures (Aug 2022, 2023).
  • Offside Front Tyre had a cut in excess of requirements (Aug 2019 failure).
  • Offside Front Brake recording little/no effort (Oct 2014 failure).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No outstanding MOT failures or advisories since the last test in July 2025.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory since registration.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
