This 2005 Mercedes has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 15,238 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring issues and low mileage for its age present significant risks.

The vehicle shows unusually low annual mileage (4,399 mi/yr) until Sep 2020, followed by a significant jump in usage, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

Recurring brake disc and hose advisories across 6 tests (Sep 2019, Oct 2021, Nov 2022, Nov 2023) indicate chronic neglect.
Tyre advisories appear in 4 separate tests (Sep 2019, Oct 2021, Nov 2022, Nov 2023) with no resolution.
The vehicle has been on SORN status since 2005, suggesting long periods of non-use or neglect.
Unusually low annual mileage (4,399 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle, followed by a significant usage spike, raises odometer fraud concerns.

Working in its favour

The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good inherent safety features.
