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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 21,853 miles. The recurring brake system advisories and unexplained history gaps make this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,888 miles/year, with a significant 3-year MOT gap (Jul 2019–Jun 2023) where mileage is unverified, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Jun 2023 – May 2024)
  • Critical 3-year MOT gap (Jul 2019–Jun 2023) — no test recorded, mileage unverified.
  • Very low mileage (21,853 mi) for an 18-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • Recurring brake system advisories (Jun 2023, May 2024) indicate a pattern of wear.

Working in its favour

  • No recorded failures for the timing chain or head gasket, common Mercedes issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2018.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories for the last 12 months, suggesting current roadworthiness.
