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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 25,564 miles. While recent failures were addressed, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 25,564 miles over 13 years, averaging 8,374 miles per year, which is consistent with UK average.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in Sep 2019 and Sep 2023, indicating critical wear.
  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Sep 2019, Sep 2023, Sep 2025).
  • Persistent suspension arm advisories and failures (Sep 2019, Sep 2023, Sep 2025).
  • Major engine/oil failure in Oct 2018, though rectified, is a significant concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over its 13-year lifespan.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
