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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 24,928 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories and failures point to a vehicle requiring significant ongoing maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 8,464 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Nov 2018, Mar 2019, Mar 2021, Mar 2022) and advisories (Nov 2018, Mar 2020, Mar 2021) suggest chronic neglect.
- Brake system failures (Mar 2021, Mar 2022) and advisories (Nov 2018, Mar 2020, Mar 2021) indicate a history of poor maintenance.
- Parking brake efficiency less than 50% (Nov 2018) is a serious safety concern, though fixed.
- The 2018-11-29 FAILED MOT with multiple dangerous tyre defects and brake advisories is a major red flag.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,464 miles/year, aligning with UK usage.
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-24, providing peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
