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

This 2006 Mercedes has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 61,767 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with a 2017 expiry date, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease of 54,002 miles between Mar 2010 (71,442 mi) and Jun 2011 (17,440 mi), indicating a high risk of odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Mar 2010 (71,442 mi) and Jun 2011 (17,440 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased by 54,002 miles between Mar 2010 (71,442 mi) and Jun 2011 (17,440 mi) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Major failures in critical safety systems: tyres (4 failures), suspension (4 failures), brakes (1 failure), and exhaust (3 failures) — consistent neglect.
  • Not valid MOT since 2017-11-13; SORN status means no current insurance or roadworthiness compliance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2006 model.
  • Consistent annual mileage (13,185 miles/year) before the 2010 anomaly, suggesting regular use.
  • No recent MOT failures (last failure 2016), indicating the owner addressed immediate issues.
  • No outstanding recalls in the provided data — no immediate safety concerns from the manufacturer.
