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 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 71,750 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of unresolved issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,061 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the vehicle has accumulated significant mileage since 2007.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures in Oct 2022 and Aug 2020 indicate critical safety neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm corrosion (Nov 2025) and subframe corrosion (Nov 2025) are major structural concerns.
  • Wheel bearing play noted in 2010 and 2025 tests suggests a chronic, unresolved mechanical issue.
  • Multiple brake-related advisories (e.g., corroded coil spring, brake hose) across 2010 and 2025 tests.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,061 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe and well-engineered platform.
