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 73% pass rate and 28,360 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's history of neglect and recent low usage warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2024 (567 mi/yr equivalent) followed by normal usage, indicating a period of prolonged inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2021-02-10 (Feb 2021) indicates severe neglect.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (e.g., 2023-03-01) and brake system issues (e.g., 2020-02-22) suggest chronic wear.
  • The 2018-02-19 test noted 'Nearside Front brake disc worn, pitted or scored' — a recurring advisory.
  • The 2015-07-04 test noted 'Under-trays fitted obscuring some underside components' — a safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 08-2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2024, averaging 9,254 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2017-02-10 test passed with no failures or advisories, showing a clean record at one point.
