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 33,103 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring advisories on critical wear items like tyres and brakes, combined with a history of dangerous defects, raises serious concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (661 mi/yr equivalent) before July 2020, followed by normal usage, indicating a period of inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (8 flags) and brakes (13 flags) across multiple tests indicate chronic wear.
  • Major failure for excessive exhaust smoke on 2012-09-18 suggests potential DPF or engine issues.
  • Dangerous defect for exposed ply/cords on 2012-09-18 highlights past neglect of critical safety components.
  • Consistent pattern of windscreen defects (6 flags) and brake hose issues (6 flags) points to systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Normal annual mileage (6,713 mi/yr) since 2020 is consistent with a well-maintained vehicle.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2012-09-18 test.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
