AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 24,665 miles. While mileage is low, the history of dangerous defects and unaddressed issues warrants a thorough inspection.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage averaging 5,816 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2021 (e.g., +2,253 miles in 2019, +1,261 miles in 2020).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2024-12-20 (Offside Rear Tyre has a bulge, Offside Rear Inner Tyre has ply exposed).
- DANGEROUS subframe corrosion noted on 2024-12-20 (Offside Rear Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened).
- Recurring brake hose advisories across 6 tests (2016, 2017, 2024, 2025) indicate a chronic issue.
- Recurring position lamp intensity issues across 2 tests (2024, 2025) suggest a persistent electrical fault.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-20, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,816 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
