AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 78,898 miles. The recurring windscreen advisories and a current ball joint advisory warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent high annual mileage, averaging 15,173 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but high usage is a known wear factor.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2026-01-17; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
- Jan 2025 MOT failure for ball joint, though passed retest, indicates recent suspension concern.
- Jan 2019 advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin is a recurring wear item.
- High mileage (182,538 miles) suggests increased wear and tear on components.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent high annual mileage (15,173 mi/yr) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-protected and safe vehicle.
