This 2006 Mercedes has 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 71,893 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests significant ongoing maintenance and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 17,990 miles/year, with a notable drop to 6,410 miles/year between 2015 and 2016, indicating a change in driving patterns or potential service intervals.

Things to check

  • Not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.
  • High mileage (189,521 miles) for a 2006 vehicle, indicating heavy use.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2017-07-11, indicating it passed a recent test.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage drops.
