AI verdict AVOID 37/100

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

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 37,555 miles. The vehicle's age and accumulated wear, combined with a lack of verifiable service history, make it a high-risk purchase.

The MOT history shows a 4,998-mile decrease between 14 Aug 2023 and 28 Aug 2023, followed by a 25-mile anomaly before Oct 2025, indicating potential odometer fraud or data manipulation.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2025): Offside Front Road wheel fractured (5.2.2 (a))
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 14 Aug 2023 and 28 Aug 2023, indicating severe safety neglect.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Road wheel fractured on 23 Nov 2013, a critical structural failure.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures: 4 major failures and 7 advisories across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 23 Oct 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures in the steering system.
  • No recurring failures in the engine management system.
