AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 32,626 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring brake issues and a recent MOT failure for a wiper defect warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 9,165 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 32,626 miles recorded over 13 years.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2019, 2021, 2026).
- Major failure for 'emissions too low to register' on 2017-12-22, though passed same day.
- Major failure for 'Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick' on 2017-12-22, though passed same day.
- Major failure for 'Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding' on 2017-12-22, though passed same day.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-15, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage of 9,165 miles/year, indicating regular use without abuse.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or suspension.
