This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 33,262 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and numerous unresolved issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant decrease from 130,441 miles in May 2017 to 53,321 miles in April 2018, followed by a massive jump to 247,543 miles by April 2019, indicating potential odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2017 (130,441 mi) and Apr 2018 (53,321 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased from 130,441 mi (May 2017) to 53,321 mi (Apr 2018) — possible odometer tampering.
- Dangerous tyre defects recorded in 2015, 2016, and 2017 — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring major failures in lights (2016, 2017), suspension (2016, 2017), and brakes (2018) — systemic neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
- Valid MOT until July 2026 — no immediate retesting required.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, despite issues.
