This 2004 Mercedes has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 79,432 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT make it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
A critical 104,818-mile mileage decrease occurred between Feb 2012 (154,385 mi) and Aug 2012 (49,567 mi), indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.
