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

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 10,470 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,242 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,787 miles between Feb 2021 and Mar 2022).

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (e.g., corroded coil spring, worn ball joint) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent brake system advisories (e.g., worn pads, corroded hose) from 2011 to 2026.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,242 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (e.g., worn, damaged) in Feb 2023 and Mar 2024.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No recorded DANGEROUS defects in the MOT history.
