This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 86,669 miles. The high annual usage (18,149 mi/yr) is also a concern.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 18,149 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with a notable spike of 26,615 miles in the 12 months leading up to the March 2026 MOT.
Things to check
- 2026-03-14 FAILED MOT for Nearside Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii)) — recent maintenance neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 11 tests (Jan 2022, Dec 2023, Mar 2026) — consistent wear pattern suggests aggressive driving or poor maintenance.
- High annual mileage (18,149 mi/yr vs 8,000 UK average) — expect accelerated wear on all components
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-11 — no immediate retest required.
- Consistent high mileage — no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine use.
- No recurring major failures — all past failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) — excellent structural integrity and safety features.
