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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 46,571 miles. The vehicle's mileage trajectory is consistent, but the underlying mechanical issues and owner-reported faults make this a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,464 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but the MOT history reveals significant underlying mechanical issues.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects on 2026-02-17 (test failed) — immediate safety risk.
- MAJOR brake pipe failure on 2026-02-17 (test failed) — structural neglect.
- MAJOR suspension arm failure on 2026-02-17 (test failed) — repeated wear pattern.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories from 2017-01-16 onwards — persistent wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,464 miles/year — no odometer fraud.
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-17 — no immediate retest required.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standard for its age.
