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

This 2008 Mercedes has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 20,006 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, the pattern of neglect and low mileage for its age warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2023 (539 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in annual usage, indicating inconsistent usage patterns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded in Oct 2018, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across multiple tests (Oct 2018, Dec 2019, Feb 2021, Oct 2023).
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Oct 2023 (539 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Multiple MOT failures and advisories for windscreen defects (Feb 2021, Oct 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2023, suggesting recent maintenance.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
