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 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 28,654 miles. The recurring advisories for tyres and brakes, combined with a history of significant owner-reported faults, warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows high initial usage (148,085 miles by May 2019), followed by significantly lower annual mileage (e.g., 9,264 miles in 2022), which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud or inconsistent driving patterns.

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with 148,085 miles by May 2019, then only 9,264 miles in 2022.
  • Single MOT failure on 2016-05-04 for tyre condition and rear tyre tread depth.
  • Recurring advisories for worn tyres (May 2019) and fluctuating brakes (May 2017, 2018).
  • High mileage for a 2012 vehicle (28,654 miles) suggests heavy commercial or high-usage history.

Working in its favour

  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in the MOT history.
  • The 2016-05-04 failure was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases (pre-2022) suggest regular use and maintenance.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-protected vehicle.
