AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Mercedes-Benz has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 60,908 miles. The mileage trajectory is normal, but the vehicle's past maintenance and safety record are highly problematic.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,470 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the vehicle has covered over 142,000 miles.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2024): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2018-08-02 (tear, inner wall separation) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (2017, 2024), tyres (2018, 2024), and suspension (2025).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent with no anomalies or fraud indicators.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe vehicle platform.
  • MOT valid until 2026-08-21, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
