This 2015 Mercedes-Benz has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 16,590 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated failures and advisories for critical safety systems warrant a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,086 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Four DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded between Feb 2022 and Feb 2026, indicating a persistent and escalating safety issue.
- Nine advisories for brake disc wear across 3 separate tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2020) point to a chronic problem.
- Five test failures in 14 MOTs, with 4 of those being dangerous defects, suggests a history of reactive maintenance.
- Recurring suspension advisories (coil spring) and anti-roll bar link failures in Feb 2025 and Feb 2026.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-23, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,086 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
