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 38,223 miles. The vehicle's mileage has been consistently low, but the pattern of neglect is a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,899 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this low usage is coupled with a history of recurring major failures.
Things to check
- Oct 2018: Front Inner Brake disc worn advisory, a recurring issue.
