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 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 44,405 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring issues and lack of recent MOT validity demand thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,603 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but annual usage has fluctuated significantly since 2006.

Things to check

  • May 2007: Nearside Rear Shock absorber serious fluid leak (2.7.3) — a major safety failure.
  • May 2007: Offside Front Track rod end ball joint excessive play (2.2.B.1f) — a major steering failure.
  • May 2011: Offside Front Track rod end ball joint excessive play (2.2.B.1f) — a recurring major failure.
  • May 2011: Offside Rear Shock absorer has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3) — a major suspension failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
