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

This 2006 Mercedes has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 38,788 miles. The single MOT test in 2009 failed on multiple safety-critical systems, including brakes, suspension, and steering.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2014 (91 mi/yr equivalent) and a significant drop in annual usage after 2014, which is highly unusual for a 20-year-old car.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2009-06-30 (test failed).
  • 2009-06-30 FAILED MOT: Brakes, suspension, steering, and engine/oil failures.
  • 2009-06-30 FAILED MOT: Multiple advisories for worn tyres and thin brake pads.
  • 2010-06-30 PASSED MOT: Still carries advisories for worn brake pads and imbalanced braking.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
