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

This 2006 Mercedes has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 35,194 miles. The high number of recurring issues, particularly with brakes, tyres, and suspension, suggests a history of reactive maintenance.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,666 miles/year, averaging 35,194 miles over 20 years, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2019, Apr 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023, Aug 2024) indicate a long-standing issue.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2019, Apr 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023, Aug 2024) suggest chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 2 tests (Mar 2019, Aug 2024) point to ongoing structural wear.
  • High number of recurring minor defects and advisories across multiple systems (brakes, tyres, suspension, lights) is a major red flag for neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its 20-year age, suggesting regular use.
  • No recorded failures on the MOT history, only advisories and minor defects.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
