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

This 2009 Mercedes has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 17,740 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a DANGEROUS tyre defect and a MAJOR exhaust leak, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,708 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,015 miles between Feb 2025 and Mar 2026).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect (Apr 2026) indicates immediate

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, with all failures and advisories properly recorded.
