AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 10,378 miles. The vehicle's history shows consistent owner attention to minor issues, but the underlying wear patterns and mileage anomalies require thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2024 (43 miles/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in usage, indicating inconsistent driving patterns or periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Brake pad advisories in Mar 2025 and Mar 2026 indicate ongoing wear, though recently addressed.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2024 (43 mi/yr equivalent) raises questions about vehicle use.
  • One major failure for 'Lights: 1 major failure(s), 0 related advisory/ies' in Nov 2022, though immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides significant peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate resolution of all advisories demonstrate responsible ownership.
