This 2011 Mercedes-Benz has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 57,748 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and numerous past issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,950 miles/year, with a significant 531-mile discrepancy between retest attempts on 12 Feb 2016 and 16 Feb 2016.
Things to check
- Multiple major failures and recurring advisories for tyres (7+ tests) and brakes (4+ tests).
- High mileage (172,255 miles) for a 2011 vehicle, indicating significant wear and tear.
- Unusually large mileage difference (531 miles) between retest attempts on 12 Feb 2016 and 16 Feb 2016.
- Not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- No evidence of odometer fraud, despite high mileage, as readings are consistent.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent service history, as evidenced by the MOT records.
