This 2008 Mercedes has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 27,452 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 2022 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,980 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2015 and 2021 (44,936 to 85,379 miles).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories from Apr 2019 to Feb 2023 indicate chronic neglect.
- Major failures for brakes, suspension, and engine/oil in Oct 2020 and Feb 2023 point to systemic neglect.
- The 2022 service gap, combined with the SORN status, suggests periods of inactivity or neglect.
- The 2015-02-18 MOT recorded a corroded sub-frame, a serious structural concern.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a current, clean MOT certificate from Feb 2023, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a strong safety foundation for this model.
- The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
