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 21 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 6,688 miles. The 2020 and 2022 MOT gaps, combined with known model weaknesses like timing chain and head gasket issues, warrant thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,281 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (1,889 miles in 2 years) and subsequent very low annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (2,281 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity or potential issues.
  • MOT history shows a 2020 and 2022 gap, indicating periods of SORN or unrecorded use.
  • No detailed defect breakdown for the single 2023-01-23 failure, which is a significant omission for a 23-year-old vehicle.
  • The 2003 Mercedes-Benz model has a history of timing chain and head gasket issues, which are expensive to repair.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-01-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No dangerous defects or recurring major failures are recorded in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed its retests after any minor failures, showing prompt owner attention.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
