This 2012 Mercedes-Benz has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 29,298 miles. While it has a valid MOT until April 2026, the underlying issues and inconsistent mileage make this a high-risk purchase.
The mileage decreased by 95 miles between Dec 2022 (73,170 mi) and Nov 2023 (73,075 mi), a clear red flag for potential odometer tampering.

- Mileage decreased by 95 miles between Dec 2022 and Nov 2023, suggesting odometer tampering.

- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for safety, a strong positive.
