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 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 21,817 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age also warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,147 miles per year, with a notable drop from 7,582 miles (Mar 2019) to 1,712 miles (Jun 2023) before increasing slightly.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (coil spring, Jun 2025) and brake disc wear (Mar 2019) indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,147 miles/yr) for a 2016 vehicle suggests limited use or potential long-term storage.
- The 2024-06-10 retest after a failure, combined with a 2025-06-10 failure, suggests inconsistent maintenance or test timing issues.
- The 2021-06-05 advisory for a nail in the nearside front tyre, though minor, is a recurring issue.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
