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

This 2011 Mercedes-Benz has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 25,604 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in these areas is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows high initial usage (12,571 mi/yr) but has since dropped to very low annual mileage (e.g., 5,494 mi in 2022-2023), raising odometer fraud detection concerns.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Mar 2019, May 2021) and suspension advisories (Mar 2019, May 2021) indicate systemic neglect.
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects (May 2021) and recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2020, May 2023) point to chronic maintenance issues.
  • Engine/Oil major failure (May 2024) and 26 brake/suspension advisories across 5 tests suggest deep underlying problems.
  • Mileage trajectory shows high initial usage (12,571 mi/yr) followed by very low annual mileage (e.g., 5,494 mi in 2022-2023), a classic odometer fraud red flag.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2025-05-23, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
  • Consistent retesting pattern (fail then pass on the same day) shows immediate owner response to failures.
