This 2004 Mercedes has 4 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 205,003 miles. The high mileage and age mean critical components like the timing chain and head gasket are likely nearing end-of-life.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 13,017 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop to 1,832 miles in the last 12 months.
Things to check
- High total mileage of 205,003 miles (Oct 2018) indicates significant wear and tear.
- Mileage trajectory shows a 7,817-mile drop in the last 12 months (Aug 2021), suggesting a change in usage or potential odometer issues.
- The vehicle is 22 years old (registered Jan 2004), meaning all original components are now at or near end-of-life.
- No MOT advisories recorded despite high mileage and age, suggesting a 'clean' record that masks underlying issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- No MOT failures recorded across 4 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent annual mileage, despite being high, shows no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its era.
