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

This 2007 Mercedes has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 38,861 miles. While mileage is consistent, the combination of age, recurring advisories, and known model weaknesses warrants a thorough investigation.

Mileage is consistent with 38,861 miles over 19 years, averaging 11,852 miles/year, which is higher than the UK average of 8,000 but shows no anomalies.

Things to check

  • High-risk timing chain and head gasket issues are deeply ingrained in the vehicle's history.
  • The 2019 MOT gap, combined with SORN status, suggests periods of inactivity or neglect.
  • Consistent high mileage (11,852 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle increases wear on critical components.
  • The 2012-08-29 advisory for a stop lamp indicates a minor electrical issue.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across all 3 tests, demonstrating a clean recent pass.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (11,852 mi/yr) for its age, suggesting regular use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
  • No recurring major failures in the MOT history, only advisories for wear items.
