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

This 2006 Mercedes has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 31,021 miles. The vehicle's long history and lack of current MOT status present significant and unquantifiable risks.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 31,021 miles over 20 years, averaging 9,027 miles per year, consistent with UK average.

Things to check

  • Failed MOT on 2011-06-21 with no subsequent valid MOT history.
  • No valid MOT status since 2011, making the vehicle unroadworthy.
  • Outstanding from latest test (Jan 2019): handbrake, exhaust, brake disc (ADVISORY).
  • High-risk community-reported faults: wheel bearing, timing chain, head gasket.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,027 miles/year.
  • No recorded test failures or dangerous defects in the 2011 MOT test.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong safety features.
