AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Mercedes-Benz has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 23,444 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the recurring nature of critical safety systems makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,811 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the vehicle has accumulated significant mileage over its 16-year lifespan.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures in Sep 2023 and Aug 2025 indicate critical safety neglect.
- Recurring brake system failures (Sep 2023, Sep 2024) and advisories (Aug 2025) point to chronic wear.
- Major emissions failures (Sep 2023, Sep 2024) and advisories (Aug 2025) suggest ongoing engine issues.
- Major engine/oil failure (Sep 2024) and bodywork failure (Sep 2024) highlight widespread neglect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, averaging 7,811 miles/year.
- Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a strong safety foundation for its age.
