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

This 2007 Mercedes has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 8,897 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and recurring issues, including a DANGEROUS tyre defect, make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage (3,588 miles/yr), but a significant mileage anomaly: unusually high jumps of 12,513 miles/yr (Oct 2019 to Nov 2021) and 11,333 miles/yr (Oct 2020 to Nov 2021) compared to its average.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2010-09-09 (MOT 8,897MI).
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (7) and suspension (5) across multiple tests.
  • Major failure for fuel system on 2010-09-09 (MOT 8,897MI).
  • Major failure for emissions on 2010-09-09 (MOT 8,897MI).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
