This 2012 Mercedes-Benz has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 33,678 miles. While recent failures were addressed, the vehicle's history suggests ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (472 mi/yr equivalent) before Aug 2022, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential hidden issues or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2020) escalated to DANGEROUS failures (Aug 2021), indicating a chronic issue.
- Brake system failures (Rear Brake disc worn, Aug 2021) and advisories (Rear Brake pad, Aug 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- Suspiciously low mileage (472 mi/yr equivalent) before Aug 2022, followed by a significant drop in annual usage.
- The Aug 2025 MOT passed with advisories for tyres and brake hose, indicating immediate future maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 08/21/2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- No major structural corrosion or suspension failures are evident in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests since the initial failures were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
