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

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 20,570 miles. While mileage is low, the consistent need for repairs suggests potential underlying issues.

The vehicle has recorded only 20,570 miles in 17 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating very light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Oct 2023, Oct 2024) and suspension (Oct 2023, Oct 2024) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Tyre advisories (Sep 2018, Oct 2020, Oct 2020, Oct 2020, Oct 2020, Oct 2024, Nov 2025) show a persistent, unresolved issue.
  • Brake hose advisory (Nov 2025) is a new concern that needs immediate attention.
  • The 2012-09-21 MOT shows only 25,334 miles in 3 years, a significant anomaly.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-05, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,300 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
