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

This 2008 Mercedes has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 57,966 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer volume of recurring faults, particularly in suspension and lighting, indicates a vehicle that requires careful pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,685 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2019 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in suspension (coil springs, arms) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent major failures in lighting (headlamps, wipers) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (hose) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring major failures in anti-roll bar link across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
