AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Mercedes has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 36,367 miles. The recurring nature of critical systems like emissions and suspension, combined with a 16-year age and low mileage, presents significant and unquantifiable risks.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 8,396 miles/year, but a critical 4-year period (2015-2019) saw only 13,454 miles added to 97,865 miles, indicating a significant and unexplained usage drop.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (Apr 2022).
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (Apr 2022).
- Recurring Emissions failures: 7 major failures and 2 related advisories across multiple tests.
- Recurring Suspension arm advisories: 3 separate tests (Apr 2021, Apr 2022, May 2024).
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass: May 2025, valid until June 2026.
- Consistent mileage: Average 8,396 miles/year, no suspicious spikes.
- No recent major failures: Last major failure was 2019-10-31.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Excellent safety credentials for a 2010 model.
