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 5 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 57,755 miles. The vehicle's MOT expired in 2016, and it is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
The vehicle shows consistent high annual usage, averaging 17,175 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but this will lead to accelerated component wear.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2016-03-02; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
- High annual mileage (17k miles/year) will accelerate wear on all mechanical and safety-critical components.
- Two suspension advisories (ball joint play) on 2013-03-03 suggest ongoing wear on critical safety systems.
- The 2014-02-26 advisory for 'front disc and pads worn' indicates significant brake system wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- No MOT failures recorded across 5 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and no hidden storage or long periods of inactivity.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
