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

This 2014 Mercedes-Benz has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 42,476 miles. The vehicle's history shows consistent low annual usage, which is positive, but the repeated tyre advisories escalating to dangerous defects and the recent suspension failure warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 10,534 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating regular but not excessive use.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre had ply exposed (Sep 2018) — indicates severe neglect of critical safety items.
  • Major failure: Offside Front Upper Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover failed (Dec 2024) — a recent structural suspension issue.
  • Recurring advisories: Tyre wear advisories present in 4 separate tests (Sep 2018, Sep 2019, Oct 2020, Sep 2018) — consistent pattern of wear.
  • Recurring advisories: Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory (Sep 2018) — indicates a need for immediate brake maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until December 2026 — no immediate retesting required.
  • Consistent, normal mileage: 10,534 miles/year average, no fraud indicators.
  • No recurring major failures: All 2 failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Excellent safety credentials for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz.
