This 2011 Mercedes-Benz has 12 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 44,536 miles. However, a significant recurring advisory for brake hoses and a recent advisory for a wheel bearing, combined with known model weaknesses, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 9,758 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes over 15 years.
Things to check
- The Nov 2025 MOT includes a MINOR windscreen defect and an ADVISORY for a wheel bearing.
- Community-reported high-risk timing chain and head gasket issues for this model are a concern for long-term reliability.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT pass record with 8 consecutive passes and zero failures since 2014.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage of 9,758 miles/year, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
