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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 44,261 miles. The timing chain and head gasket are known model weaknesses that require specific attention.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 7,243 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Dec 2022, Nov 2023, Dec 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Suspension arm advisory noted in Dec 2025 suggests a potential upcoming repair.
  • Tyre advisories in Dec 2025 and Dec 2022 highlight a history of wear and tear.
  • The 15-year-old vehicle with low mileage (44,261 mi) will have accumulated wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-11, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over 15 years, no fraud indicators.
  • No major recurring failures, only advisories, which is a positive sign of maintenance.
