AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Mercedes-Benz has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 13,038 miles. This fundamental contradiction makes the vehicle's legal status and roadworthiness unverifiable.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,284 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT status is a major concern.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-05-29 — a critical contradiction.
- Three major failures for lights and one for tyres in Oct 2023, indicating recurring issues.
- Four advisories for brakes in Oct 2023 and Oct 2024, suggesting ongoing wear.
- Community knowledge reports high-risk issues like wheel bearing, turbo oil feed line seal, and head gasket.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,284 miles/year.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates high safety standards.
