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 30,038 miles. While there are historical owner-reported faults, the recent clean passes and responsive maintenance make it a solid purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,983 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- One major suspension failure (nearside rear coil spring) in July 2022, though immediately rectified.
- Historical owner-reported faults for wheel bearing, turbo oil feed line, and head gasket issues (not verified by MOT).
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record with 7 passes out of 8 tests and no dangerous defects.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,983 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- All prior advisories (brake pads, 2022) were immediately addressed and not recurring.
- Recent clean MOT pass in December 2025 with no advisories, indicating good current condition.
