AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Mercedes has 24 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 59,431 miles. The vehicle's past issues with tyres, suspension, and lights, combined with a 2020 service gap, make it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 131,728 miles in Jan 2021 to 136,793 miles in Jan 2022, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a major discrepancy.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2013-06-14 and 2022-01-22, indicating severe neglect.
- Recurring major failures in lights (4 times) and suspension (3 times) across multiple tests.
- A 2020 service gap is noted, suggesting potential periods of neglect or off-road use.
- The 2022-01-22 MOT shows a DANGEROUS tyre defect, yet the mileage dropped significantly between 2021 and 2022.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,318 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the current owner has maintained it to a basic standard.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
