This 2009 Mercedes-Benz has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 40,436 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the underlying issues make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage decrease was detected between Nov 2016 (86,183 mi) and Nov 2017 (83,843 mi), indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2016 (86,183 mi) and Nov 2017 (83,843 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased between Nov 2016 (86,183 mi) and Nov 2017 (83,843 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Recurring major exhaust system failures (flagged in 6 tests) indicate significant structural corrosion.
  • Persistent major subframe corrosion advisories (flagged in 5 tests) pose a major safety and structural risk.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has addressed immediate issues.
  • Consistent annual mileage (7,193 miles/year) aligns with typical UK usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its era.
