AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Mercedes-Benz has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 20,431 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,213 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, but the recent high annual usage (13,422 miles in 2022-2023) warrants investigation.

Things to check

  • Major suspension failure (ball joint) on 2022-11-16, a critical safety component.
  • Major brake failure (pads/discs) on 2016-11-16, a safety-critical system.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2016, 2017, 2020) and a major tyre failure (2017-11-13) indicate chronic wear.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT, requiring immediate attention.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,213 miles/year, with no fraud indicators.
  • No recurring major failures on the same system after initial repairs, suggesting issues were addressed.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
  • The 2014-12-09 and 2015-12-10 clean passes show periods of good maintenance.
