AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 18,793 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,280 miles per year, with a significant drop to 95 miles between Feb 2022 and Mar 2022, indicating periods of very low or no use.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc wear (Feb 2020 advisory) escalated to major failure (Feb 2025).
- Recurring tyre wear (Feb 2020 advisory) escalated to dangerous failure (Feb 2022).
- Dangerous sub-frame fracture (Feb 2022) is a major structural concern.
- Dangerous parking brake efficiency (Feb 2022) indicates a systemic neglect of safety systems.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent low mileage (5,280 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
