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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 9,831 miles. While there are historical owner-reported faults, the recent clean passes and valid MOT until 2027 make it a viable purchase.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 4,611 miles per year, with a significant 2022 MOT gap suggesting potential SORN or off-road use.
Things to check
- 2022 MOT gap indicates possible SORN or off-road use, requiring verification.
- Historical owner-reported faults for wheel bearing, turbo oil feed line, and head gasket are significant concerns for a 2012 Mercedes.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,611 mi/yr) may indicate limited use or long periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Clean recent MOT history with no failures or advisories since 2019, indicating good current condition.
- Consistent low mileage (9,831 mi over 14 years) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
