This 2002 Mercedes has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 77,444 miles. Recurring advisories for tyres and suspension components, combined with high usage, indicate significant wear and potential future costs.
The vehicle shows extremely high annual usage, averaging 24,725 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with a notable spike of 52,864 miles between Feb 2007 and Mar 2008.
Things to check
- High annual mileage (24,725 mi/yr) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
- Single major failure for windscreen washer (2009) highlights a basic maintenance lapse.
Working in its favour
- No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- The single major failure (windscreen washer) was immediately rectified and passed retest.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
