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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 32,728 miles. While mileage is low, the high number of advisories and failures across critical safety components warrants a thorough inspection.

The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage averaging 5,612 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (4,044 miles in 12 months) and subsequent periods of minimal use.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories (2014, 2023, 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Brake system failures and advisories (2014, 2022) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Wheel bearing advisories (2012, 2013, 2014) and a 2014 failure point to a known model weakness.
  • Low annual mileage (5,612 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle is a red flag for potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-02 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
