This 2011 Mercedes-Benz has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 35,401 miles.

Things to check

  • MOT not valid since 2023-03-31 — requires immediate re-registration and new MOT.
  • Significant community-reported faults: wheel bearing, transmission vacuum modulator, control arm, timing chain, and head gasket issues.
  • Mileage of 35,401 miles in 15 years is very low for a 2011 Mercedes-Benz, suggesting limited use.
  • The 2015-03-18 test shows a FAILED headlamp followed by a PASSED MOT on the same day, indicating a quick fix.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across 4 tests, indicating a well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,050 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Recent low annual usage (4,000 miles/year) suggests minimal recent wear and tear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a very safe vehicle.
