This 2018 Mercedes-Benz has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 22,030 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2023 service gap, suggests a need for thorough checks.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 9,252 miles/year, averaging 8,000 annually, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 22,030 miles recorded by Jan 2022.
Things to check
- 2018-01-04: Major SRS warning lamp failure (Supplementary Restraint System) — a critical safety system fault.
- 2022-01-04: Recurring tyre advisories (Offside Front Outer Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge) — indicates a persistent wear pattern.
- 2023: Service gap — no MOT recorded for 2023, suggesting potential off-road use or unverified maintenance.
- 2025: Service gap — no MOT recorded for 2025, indicating a lack of recent official inspections.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-03, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 9,252 miles/year, aligning with UK usage.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects across multiple MOT tests.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates high inherent safety standards.
