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 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 13,594 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage for its age, combined with a history of tyre advisories and a recent failure, warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,643 miles/year, with a significant anomaly in 2025 where mileage increased by 4,271 miles after a 3-year period of very low annual usage.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 24,356 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016) — indicates minimal use or potential odometer fraud.
- Major failure for Offside Rear Tyre cut (Mar 2022) — indicates a significant safety hazard was only addressed after it failed the MOT.
Working in its favour
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history — all failures and advisories were related to consumables or wear items.
- The single major failure (tyre cut) was promptly rectified and passed retest on the same day (Mar 2022).
- Consistent annual mileage increases, albeit very low, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies after the initial low period.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a high level of safety engineering for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz.
