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 67% pass rate and 25,472 miles. The car's age and mileage mean substantial upcoming maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,228 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 145-mile retest in Oct 2023 is unusual.
Things to check
- Recurring electrical faults (lights, indicators) across multiple tests (e.g., Oct 2020, Oct 2023) indicate a systemic issue.
- Major engine failure recorded in Oct 2023, though later passed, suggests significant underlying mechanical stress.
- Brake hose advisories in Oct 2020, Oct 2021, and Oct 2022 are a recurring safety concern.
- Transmission vacuum modulator issue and head gasket problems are noted in community knowledge for this model.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,228 mi/yr) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
