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

This 2005 Mercedes has 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 23,002 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the complete absence of data for over two decades is a significant concern.

The vehicle's first MOT was recorded in 2008, but no mileage data is available for the 2005 registration year, making it impossible to verify its true mileage or detect potential fraud.

Things to check

  • Complete absence of MOT history from 2005 to 2008 — a critical 21-year gap for a 21-year-old vehicle.
  • No mileage data available for the 2005 registration year, preventing any integrity checks.
  • The 2008-06-11 first MOT record is highly irregular for a 2005 vehicle, suggesting a data anomaly or a missing record.
  • The 2011-06-24 MOT record is also missing from the provided history, further exacerbating the data gap.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2026-09-18, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • No immediate MOT failures are present in the provided history, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests since 2008, showing it has been maintained to a standard.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
