This 2015 Mercedes-Benz has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 72,269 miles. The high mileage and recurring suspension issues suggest significant wear and potential future repair costs.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 14,865 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (5,491 miles in 2024-2025), which may indicate a change in usage or potential odometer anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (Jun 2020, May 2021) and advisories (Apr 2019, Jun 2020) indicate a persistent and costly wear item.
- High annual mileage (14,865 miles/year) compared to UK average (8,000) suggests increased mechanical stress and wear.
- Front brake pads wearing thin (Apr 2019 advisory) suggests imminent replacement costs, a common wear item on high-mileage vehicles.
- The recent low annual mileage (5,491 miles in 2024-2025) after high usage may indicate a change in driving or potential odometer issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind and avoids immediate retesting costs.
- Consistent high mileage (14,865 miles/year) suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component lifespan.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, as readings are consistent and logical.
