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 23 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 18,229 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease: 211,379 miles in May 2023 dropped to 133,228 miles in May 2024, indicating a possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2023 (211,379 mi) and May 2024 (133,228 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased from 211,379 mi (May 2023) to 133,228 mi (May 2024) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Vehicle is 20 years old (first registered Jan 2006), indicating significant accumulated wear and age.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across multiple tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2021, Mar 2020) suggest chronic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite age.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner is maintaining it to pass tests.
