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 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 22,168 miles. A 2017 tyre failure and a 2019 service gap also warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,862 miles per year, with a notable increase in usage between 2018 and 2022, but subsequent years show significantly lower usage.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories for worn tyres (Jan 2020, May 2021, Nov 2022) and brakes (Jan 2020, May 2021, Nov 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
- A 2017 MOT failure for worn front tyres (below 1.6mm) followed by a PASS the same day suggests a 'just fixed' seller tactic.
- A 2019 MOT gap (no test recorded) is a concern, as it may indicate periods of non-use or unrecorded history.
- The 2013 Mercedes-Benz is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-18, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retesting costs.
- Consistent low mileage (22,168 miles in 13 years) suggests light use and potentially lower wear.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a high level of safety for its time.
