This 2008 Mercedes has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 18,332 miles. The provided MOT data is incomplete and contradictory, making a reliable assessment impossible.
The MOT history shows a critical 17-year gap in recorded mileage between 2014-02-18 and 2022-04-01, with suspiciously low readings before and after this period.
Things to check
- MOT EXPIRY DATE 2024-01-09 is impossible for a 2008 vehicle; this is a major red flag for data integrity.
- MILEAGE TRAJECTORY shows a 17-year gap (2014–2022) with suspiciously low readings before and after, indicating potential fraud.
- CRITICAL MOT HISTORY INCONSISTENCY: The provided MOT data is incomplete and contradictory, making a reliable assessment impossible.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2022 (252 mi/yr equivalent) and Jan 2023 (11 mi/yr equivalent).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No specific green flags can be identified due to the critical MOT history inconsistencies and data integrity issues.
