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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 12,742 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with unverified usage during that gap, raises serious concerns about its maintenance and true condition.
The vehicle shows very low average annual mileage (2,918 miles/yr), but a critical 5-year MOT gap (Oct 2019-Oct 2024) means no mileage verification during that period, raising fraud concerns.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (Oct 2019 advisory, Oct 2024 major failure) indicate chronic neglect.
- Major brake failure (Oct 2024) combined with a 5-year MOT gap (Oct 2019-Oct 2024) is a major red flag.
- Unusually low mileage (2,918 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle, compounded by unverified usage during the 5-year MOT gap.
- Offside Rear Nail in tyre (Oct 2024) is a recent advisory, suggesting immediate repair needs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its model year.
