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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 17,094 miles. While many issues were resolved, the high number of failures and advisories warrants a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,646 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 13-year history.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Nov 2023, Nov 2025).
  • Recurring tyre advisories and failures (e.g., Jul 2021, Jul 2020, May 2019).
  • Recurring windscreen wiper failures (e.g., Jul 2021, Jul 2020).
  • Recurring exhaust system issues (e.g., Nov 2023, Nov 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,646 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed subsequent tests.
