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

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 29,429 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with periods of extremely low usage and sudden spikes, raising serious integrity concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage (126 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2017, followed by a period of very low usage (588 mi/yr equivalent) before Dec 2020, then normal usage from 2020 onwards, indicating significant and unexplained usage anomalies.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2019-01-01, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (3 tests), suspension (4 tests), and lights (3 tests) across 13 MOTs.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Feb 2017 (126 mi/yr equivalent) and before Dec 2020 (588 mi/yr equivalent).
  • The 2019-01-01 MOT recorded a DANGEROUS tyre defect, a clear safety hazard.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 6,315 miles/yr since 2020, aligning with UK average.
