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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 16,979 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of neglect warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,147 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (3,298 miles in 2021).

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in steering (Feb 2020, Feb 2021), suspension (Feb 2020, Feb 2021), and lights (Feb 2020, Feb 2021) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple advisories for tyres (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) and bodywork (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status since 2010, raising questions about its continuous use and maintenance history.
  • The 2010 Mercedes-Benz is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London, impacting future resale value.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, demonstrating the owner's ability to address issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model year.
