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

This 2002 Mercedes has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 80,083 miles. This, combined with a 24-year age and a 2019 MOT expiry, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a 160,000-mile decrease between Feb 2011 (163,005 mi) and Feb 2012 (17,774 mi), and a 12.5× annual usage spike before 2015, indicating severe odometer tampering or data integrity issues.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2011 (163,005 mi) and Feb 2012 (17,774 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased by 160,000 miles between Feb 2011 (163,005 mi) and Feb 2012 (17,774 mi) — clear evidence of odometer tampering.
  • Mileage decreased by 160,000 miles between Feb 2012 (177,774 mi) and Nov 2012 (91,311 mi) — further evidence of tampering.
  • Mileage decreased by 160,000 miles between Jul 2013 (94,773 mi) and Jun 2014 (11,457 mi) — consistent pattern of fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe vehicle from a structural standpoint.
  • No MOT failures recorded — the single test passed without a failure.
  • Consistent annual mileage (8,747 mi/yr average) before the 2011 anomaly — suggests normal use for its age.
