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 14 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 24,135 miles. However, the vehicle's 23-year age, combined with a 2019 MOT that is now over 3 years old, makes it unroadworthy and legally uninsurable.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 24,135 miles over 23 years, averaging 6,905 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2020-02-19; current MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the analysis date.
- Vehicle is 23 years old (registered 2003), well past the typical 10-year service window.
- No recent MOT history since 2019, indicating it has not been roadworthy for over 3 years.
- The 2019 MOT pass is now over 3 years old, meaning it is not legally valid for road use.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Single MOT pass on 2019-02-12 with no recorded failures or advisories.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,905 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
