AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Mercedes has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 21,363 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high number of advisories for critical safety components warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 9,537 miles/year, with a significant drop from 21,083 miles/year to 2,758 miles/year between 2019 and 2022, but no decreases or anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories across 6 tests (Aug 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories across 2 tests (Oct 2023, Oct 2025) suggest ongoing issues with the subframe.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2024) point to consistent wear.
- Major failure for Offside Rear Fuel cap/sealing device missing (Oct 2025) is a significant safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over 18 years, averaging 9,537 miles/year, suggests regular use.
- No recorded failures for dangerous defects like steering or brake failure in the last 3 years.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
