AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Mercedes-Benz has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 22,596 miles. However, a significant recurring suspension issue and multiple advisories for tyres and brakes warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,668 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in annual usage.
Things to check
- Jan 2026: Major failure for Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn.
- Jan 2026: Recent major suspension failure after a 3-year advisory, indicating reactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-29, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting regular use without abuse.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
