This 2009 Mercedes-Benz has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 73,176 miles.

The vehicle shows a 17-year gap in recorded mileage from 2009 to 2012, followed by suspiciously low usage (956 mi/yr equivalent) from Apr 2016 to Apr 2019, and then normal usage from Apr 2019 onwards.

Things to check

  • Critical 17-year mileage gap from 2009 to 2012 (0 mi to 73,176 mi) — high odometer fraud risk.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2016 (956 mi/yr equivalent) — inconsistent usage pattern.
  • MOT expiry date 2023-05-23 is highly irregular for a 2009 vehicle, suggesting a data anomaly

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2009 Mercedes.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,872 miles/year post-2019 — no recent suspicious patterns.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering — good overall mechanical health.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT pass history with only one minor failure in 2019.
