This 2005 Mercedes has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 109,413 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' and 'Untaxed', making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
A critical mileage anomaly exists: 123,702 miles (Jan 2010) decreased to 122,787 miles (Feb 2011), indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2010 (123,702 mi) and Feb 2011 (122,787 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased 915 miles between Jan 2010 (123,702 mi) and Feb 2011 (122,787 mi) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Three major brake failures (Feb 2009, Jan 2010) and four related advisories — indicates systemic brake system neglect.
- Three major suspension failures (Feb 2009, Jan 2010, Jan 2015) with no subsequent advisories — suggests poor repair quality.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a strong safety foundation for its age.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since Feb 2016, suggesting the owner has maintained it since then.
- Consistent high mileage (12,905 miles/year) suggests regular use and potential for good parts availability.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
