This 2007 Mercedes has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 36,687 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the vehicle's age and the recurring community-reported faults for a Mercedes diesel engine present significant risks.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,010 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent advisory for a brake hose.
Things to check
- Brake hose advisory from Nov 2021 MOT test — requires immediate attention.
- Vehicle is 19 years old with a 2017 Euro NCAP rating, indicating significant wear.
- Untaxed status and MOT expired 2022-12-06 suggest administrative or legal issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- No MOT failures recorded across 3 tests, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,010 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
