AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Mercedes has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 38,219 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and past advisories warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage averaging 10,268 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the 2019 advisory for worn front tyres is a significant concern.
Things to check
- May 2019 MOT advisory: Front Tyre worn close to legal limit — immediate replacement needed.
- Recurring wheel bearing play (2012 advisory) — indicates ongoing drivetrain wear.
- Not ULEZ-compliant — significant cost for London driving.
- First registration Jan 2008 — 18-year-old vehicle with expected wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,268 miles/year since 2008.
- Single MOT pass in May 2019 with no failures recorded.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials.
