AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz has 7 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 35,069 miles. The car's long-term reliability is a positive, but the owner's reported history of timing chain and head gasket issues is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 13,556 miles/year, with a notable spike of +26,646 miles between July 2019 and January 2021, indicating heavy use.
Things to check
- High annual mileage (13,556 mi/yr) suggests increased wear and tear.
- 2020 MOT gap indicates a possible SORN or unrecorded period of use.
- Community-reported 'wheel bearing' and 'Turbo oil feed line seal leak' are serious potential issues.
- Timing chain and head gasket issues are common Mercedes weaknesses, despite no MOT evidence.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- 7 consecutive MOT passes with no failures, demonstrating a solid mechanical history.
- No dangerous defects recorded on any MOT test, indicating good roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
