This 2008 Mercedes has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 171,479 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and past failures present significant risks.

Things to check
- High total mileage (171,479 mi) indicates significant wear and tear.
- Recurring failures for timing chain and head gasket are critical for this model.
- Four MOT failures with no defect details (Nov 2018, Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Feb 2024).
- Service gaps in 2020 and 2021 suggest periods of neglect or off-road use.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and no hidden storage.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current pass status.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) for this model provides peace of mind.
