AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 67,784 miles. While many advisories were addressed, the repeated failures and high annual usage warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,027 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage between 2021 and 2024, but no suspicious mileage decreases.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2025-03-25, indicating a critical safety failure.
- Recurring brake pad advisories (2019, 2023, 2024) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
- Multiple suspension failures (2023, 2024, 2025) and wheel bearing issues (2025) point to structural neglect.
- High annual mileage (12,027 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-26, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and potential for good mechanical health.
