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

This 2007 Mercedes has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 42,264 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high initial usage and recent low annual mileage warrant careful investigation.

The vehicle shows normal annual usage (7,146 miles/yr) from 2018 onwards, but a significant mileage anomaly exists: an unusually high 22,710 miles/yr equivalent was recorded before Feb 2013.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (2010, 2021, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Brake disc advisories (2019, 2020, 2021, 2025) are a recurring and unresolved issue.
  • Unusually high initial mileage (22,710 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2013 is a significant red flag.
  • The 2024 MOT gap suggests a period of off-road use or unrecorded history.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage since 2018 suggests regular use.
  • No recent MOT failures recorded, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for 2017 model demonstrates inherent safety.
