AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Mercedes-Benz has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 24,492 miles. The low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,415 miles per year, with a significant spike of 12,411 miles between Jan 2024 and Jan 2025, and a notable 2020 service gap.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) and a major failure (Jan 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
- Brake system advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) and a recent failure (Jan 2023) suggest a pattern of neglect.
- A 2020 service gap is noted in the MOT history, which is a concern for maintenance history.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,415 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
