This 2007 Mercedes has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 71,338 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the mileage trajectory and recurring issues present significant long-term risks.
The vehicle shows extremely high initial mileage (145,011 miles by Oct 2018), followed by unusually low annual usage (4,388 miles by Nov 2019), indicating potential odometer fraud or a major change in usage.
Things to check
- Odometer fraud highly probable: 145,011 miles by Oct 2018, then only 4,388 miles by Nov 2019.
- Timing chain and head gasket issues: Community-reported high-risk faults for this 2007 Mercedes.
- Wheel bearing and control arm wear: Recurring faults from community knowledge.
- Outstanding finance risk: HPI check is essential due to high mileage and age.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2020-11-05: Current MOT status is confirmed.
- Consistent mileage: Normal annual usage of 11,622 miles/yr after initial spike.
- No recent MOT failures: Latest test (Nov 2019) passed without immediate retest.
