AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 32,553 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring issues and unresolved safety hazards makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (511 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2020, followed by a significant spike in usage (up to 28,436 mi in 12 months from 2021-2022).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure (both rear pads <1.5mm) on 2024-10-24, indicating severe neglect.
- DANGEROUS tyre failure (offside front, <1.6mm) on 2025-10-22, showing a pattern of critical wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2021) escalated to dangerous failures (Oct 2025), indicating chronic maintenance issues.
- Recurring light failures (Oct 2024, Oct 2025) suggest a systemic electrical or mechanical problem.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-21, confirming current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major structural failures (e.g., suspension, steering), which is a positive sign.
- Consistent annual mileage increases after the initial low period, showing no recent odometer fraud.
- No outstanding recalls or Cat N/S write-off markers are evident from the provided data.
