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 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 35,944 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and low mileage for its age further complicate its provenance and roadworthiness.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 9,183 miles/year, but a significant 2020 service gap and inconsistent annual mileage (e.g., 3,775 miles in 2021) warrant careful investigation.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements (Jul 2018 advisory).
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Jul 2018 advisory).
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Jul 2018 advisory).
- DANGEROUS defect: Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Jul 2018 advisory).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety features.
- Mileage consistency: Normal annual usage of 9,183 miles/year, consistent with UK average.
- MOT currently valid: Valid MOT until 2026-07-03, offering immediate roadworthiness assurance.
- No recurring structural failures: Single major failure in suspension history, no repeated system failures.
