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

This 2002 Mercedes has 25 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 30,316 miles. The single prior MOT failure and recurring tyre advisories warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,095 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 393 miles between Apr 2023 and Jul 2023).

Things to check

  • Very low mileage (3,095 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle, indicating minimal use.
  • Single MOT failure on 2006-07-06 for excessive front suspension ball joint play.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2019, Jul 2020, Apr 2023) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating is excellent, but the 2002 model's age is a concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating is a significant positive for a 2002 model.
