AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Mercedes-Benz has 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 30,778 miles. While the most recent MOT passed, the extensive community-reported issues for this model type demand thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage, averaging 6,869 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 1,111 miles in 2023), but no evidence of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Extensive community-reported faults: timing chain, head gasket, and oil consumption are high-risk for a 2010 Mercedes.
- Low recent annual mileage (e.g., 1,111 miles in 2023) suggests periods of minimal use, potentially affecting component longevity.
- One major MOT failure (Sep 2025) for a fractured nearside front coil spring, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,869 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially reducing wear on certain components.
- No recurring failures or advisories on the same system across multiple MOT tests.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its era.
