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.
