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

This 2003 Mercedes has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 62,422 miles. This severe discrepancy makes the vehicle's true condition and history unverifiable, posing an unacceptable risk.

The vehicle's mileage is highly suspicious, as it decreased from 153,212 miles in April 2016 to 85,942 miles in July 2017, and then only 87,590 miles by November 2018, indicating potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Apr 2016 (153,212 mi) and Jul 2017 (85,942 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 153,212 miles (Apr 2016) to 85,942 miles (Jul 2017), indicating possible odometer tampering.
  • Only 87,590 miles recorded in Nov 2018 for a 15-year-old vehicle, suggesting significant underuse or fraud.
  • No valid MOT certificate since 2019, making the vehicle unroadworthy and uninsurable.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • No MOT failures recorded, suggesting no immediate safety-critical issues were identified.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 5,511 miles/yr (pre-2017) suggests low wear and tear on components.
