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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 37,376 miles. The vehicle's 18-year age, combined with a 2014-04-30 failure and a 2019-02-01 pass, presents a critical and unresolvable data conflict.

The vehicle shows normal usage averaging 11,742 miles/year from 2019, but a critical anomaly exists: suspiciously low mileage (851 mi/yr equivalent) was recorded before Feb 2013, which is highly unusual for a 2008 vehicle.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2020-02-06, indicating no current MOT.
  • The 2014-04-30 MOT failure for a tyre defect is a serious safety concern.
  • The 2019-02-01 MOT pass is unverified and has no subsequent history, a major red flag.
  • Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (851 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2013.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates high safety standards.
  • No MOT failures recorded on the single test from 2019.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,742 miles/year from 2019.
