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 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 18,862 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension and brake advisories, combined with a 17-year age, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,798 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs) and advisories across 5 tests (Aug 2020, Aug 2024, Sep 2025).
- Recurring brake and tyre advisories across 8 tests (Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Aug 2024, Sep 2025).
- High mileage for a 2009 vehicle (96,694 miles) suggests higher wear and tear.
- Multiple recurring minor faults (washer, wiper, lights) indicate a pattern of owner neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until September 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,798 miles/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain stress.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
