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

This 2007 Mercedes has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 26,567 miles. While it has a recent clean MOT pass, several advisories and a major suspension failure warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,152 miles/year, with a significant spike in 2019-2020 (14,689 miles in 1 year) and a notable drop in 2020-2021 (9,108 miles in 1 year).

Things to check

  • Major suspension failure (Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn) on 2012-04-17.
  • High mileage for age (26,567 miles over 19 years) suggests heavy use.
  • Recurring brake issues (discs worn, pads thin) across multiple MOTs.
  • Recent MOT expiry (2024-08-31) is distant, implying a long period without inspection.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2023-09-28 with no immediate failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Consistent annual mileage despite high total, indicating regular use.
