AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Mercedes has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 14,591 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of wear warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, averaging 4,128 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2021 (592 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- Major tyre failure on 2011-12-16 (14,591 mi) with 4 advisories for worn tyres across 4 tests.
- Recurring brake hose advisory on 2025-08-30 (72,758 mi) indicates ongoing wear.
- Very low annual mileage (4,128 mi/yr) suggests limited use, potentially affecting component longevity.
- First registration in 2008 means 18 years of age, expect accumulated wear and age-related issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-30, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
