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

This 2003 Mercedes has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 11,580 miles. The low annual mileage and consistent usage are positive, but the vehicle's age and recurring issues warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 10,531 miles/year, with a significant spike in 2018 and a notable gap in 2008.

Things to check

  • Three MOT failures recorded (Feb 2010, Feb 2012, Feb 2016) indicate past maintenance issues.
  • Five recurring brake disc advisories (2009, 2010, 2010, 2010, 2012) suggest a long-standing wear item.
  • The 2008 MOT gap is a concern, as it may indicate periods of inactivity or neglect.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and Not valid for MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 10,531 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • Recent clean MOT pass in Feb 2018, showing current roadworthiness despite age.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
