This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 24,728 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the vehicle's history warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows a 20,000-mile jump between Sep 2023 (55,134 mi) and Sep 2024 (60,143 mi), which is unusually high for a 10-year-old car and raises mileage integrity concerns.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Suspension spring mounting fractured (Oct 2021).
- Recurring suspension failures: Nearside Rear Tyre cut (Oct 2021), Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (Oct 2021), Offside Rear Coil spring fractured (Oct 2021).
- Significant mileage discrepancy: 20,000-mile jump between Sep 2023 (55,134 mi) and Sep 2024 (60,143 mi).
- Major tyre failure: Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements (Oct 2021).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-05, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates high safety standards.
- Consistent annual mileage (9,065 mi/yr) for its age, suggesting regular use.
- No outstanding MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2021 suspension failures.
