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 67% pass rate and 17,240 miles. However, a clear pattern of tyre and brake failures, coupled with a history of dangerous defects, raises significant concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,394 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though recent years show a significant spike in usage.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects in Dec 2018 and Jun 2020 indicate critical safety neglect.
  • Dangerous brake failure in Jun 2022 shows a history of critical safety component wear.
  • Recurring emissions advisories across 6 tests (Dec 2018, Jun 2020, Jun 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2023, Jul 2024) suggest a persistent underlying issue.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories (Dec 2018, Jun 2020, Jun 2022) point to a chronic system weakness.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-03, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 7,394 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
