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 16 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 38,047 miles. The car's age and low recent usage demand a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 38,047 miles over 18 years, with a significant drop from 114k miles in April 2019 to 38k miles in October 2025.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 38,047 miles recorded in Oct 2025 is suspiciously low for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Mileage trajectory: Significant drop from 114k miles (Apr 2019) to 38k miles (Oct 2025) is a major red flag.
  • SORN status: Vehicle has been on SORN since 2024, indicating a period of non-use or off-road status.
  • Low recent usage: Only 756 miles recorded between Oct 2023 and Oct 2025 suggests extended inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No MOT failures: 7 consecutive passes with no failures recorded, indicating good maintenance history.
  • Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until October 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating (2017) provides excellent safety assurance for a 2008 model.
