AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 16,344 miles. The history of dangerous tyre defects and repeated suspension failures suggests a need for thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,602 miles/year, averaging 8,000 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 8-year history.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defect (Oct 2021) indicates immediate safety risk and poor maintenance.
- Recurring suspension failures (Oct 2021, Oct 2024) and advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2024) point to a structural neglect pattern.
- Multiple tyre advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2024) and failures (Oct 2021) suggest chronic under-investment in critical safety components.
- The 2024-11-29 retest after a 7-mile drive (43,670 to 43,677 miles) is highly suspicious and raises odometer integrity concerns.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (6,602 miles/year) for its age.
- No major structural corrosion or brake system failures recorded.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for the model.
