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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 18,574 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with recurring major defects, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,507 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap (2019) and a 2-year gap (2021) in MOT records.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,507 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Five major MOT failures across 13 tests, including brakes, lights, and windscreen.
  • Eighteen advisories recorded, with 10 recurring tyre advisories and 15 brake advisories.
  • Three major failures for windscreen and two for suspension, indicating structural neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recorded DANGEROUS defects, though many MAJOR and MINOR failures exist.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite very low annual usage.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for safety, a positive for its generation.
