AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 24,083 miles. While these were addressed, the high mileage and potential for future wear make it a cautious purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent high annual mileage, averaging 16,318 miles/year, with a notable spike of 39,758 miles in 12 months (Apr 2023-Apr 2024) and 46,491 miles in 12 months (Apr 2024-Apr 2025).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm ball joint failures (Nov 2021, Apr 2023) and advisories (Nov 2021, Nov 2021) indicate a chronic weakness.
- DANGEROUS tyre defect (Nov 2021) and subsequent tyre advisories (Oct 2020, Apr 2024) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- High annual mileage (16,318 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear on components.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until April 2027, providing significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
