This 2003 Mercedes has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 72,910 miles.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 19,938 miles per year, with a significant spike of 34,895 miles between July 2010 and July 2011.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT certificate since 2013 (MOT expiry 2013-11-29).
  • High annual mileage (19,938 mi/yr) indicates heavy wear and tear.
  • Single major tyre failure (2012) suggests past neglect of critical safety components.
  • 23-year-old vehicle with no recent MOTs raises significant safety and legality concerns.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
  • The single major failure in 2012 was immediately rectified and passed the retest.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite high annual usage, shows no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
