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

This 2003 Mercedes has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 6,248 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extremely low mileage for its age makes this vehicle an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 6,248 miles over 23 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising serious odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage of 6,248 miles over 23 years is a critical red flag for potential odometer fraud.
  • First MOT test on 2006-07-01 was conducted 3 years after the vehicle's first registration.
  • The 2009-09-17 test failed due to an insecure front registration plate, a basic safety item.
  • The 2011-09-17 test failed due to a steering issue, though it was immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No recurring major failures are evident in the MOT history, suggesting isolated issues.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
  • The 2009-09-17 test failed due to an insecure front registration plate, a basic safety item.
