This 2012 Mercedes-Benz has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 21,253 miles. The vehicle's low annual usage and a significant service gap in 2020 also warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,802 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, including a 2020 MOT gap.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Brake pipe at imminent risk of failure (Dec 2019).
- Recurring brake system advisories: Offside Front Brake pipe (Dec 2019) and rear tyre (Dec 2018).
- Significant 2020 MOT gap: Vehicle was off-road or not tested for a full year, raising maintenance concerns.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027: Offers immediate peace of mind regarding roadworthiness.
- Consistent low mileage: Indicates light usage, potentially reducing wear on certain components.
- No recent MOT failures: The single failure in 2019 was immediately rectified and passed.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Demonstrates high safety standards for its model year.
