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

This 2007 Mercedes has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 46,237 miles. However, a 19-year-old diesel with consistent low annual mileage and a history of recurring advisories on critical components warrants significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 11,525 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a clean recent pass in Apr 2019.

Things to check

  • No MOT valid since 2020-11-01; SORN status indicates no current roadworthiness.
  • Recurring advisories on critical components like tyres (Apr 2019) and engine oil (Apr 2019) suggest ongoing wear.
  • 19-year-old diesel with low annual mileage (11,525 mi/yr) is a high-wear vehicle; expect significant future maintenance.
  • Past failures and advisories on wheel bearing, transmission vacuum modulator, and head gasket (community reports) are serious long-term risks.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 11,525 miles/year since 2007 registration.
  • Single past MOT failure in Apr 2019 was immediately rectified, showing responsive owner action.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 5 years of available data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-protected and safe vehicle.
