This 2006 Mercedes has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 43,402 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's past maintenance and high mileage usage warrant careful consideration.
The mileage shows a consistent increase, but a significant jump of 58,240 miles occurred between Dec 2013 and Dec 2014, which is unusually high for a 2006 vehicle.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 58,240 miles added between Dec 2013 and Dec 2014 is unusually high for a 2006 vehicle.
- Recurring suspension issues: Nearside Front Suspension arm advisory on Dec 2013, then failed on Nov 2015.
- Recurring engine oil issues: Engine/Oil advisory noted on Dec 2013 and Dec 2014.
- Past MOT failures: 3 failures recorded, including a cracked wheel (Sep 2009) and a windscreen wiper (Nov 2016).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- Consistent mileage: Despite the anomaly, the mileage has consistently increased over time, showing no signs of tampering.
- No recent failures: The most recent MOT pass in Nov 2016 followed a failure, suggesting the owner addressed the issues promptly.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
