This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 25,677 miles. While it has a long MOT, the recurring tyre advisories escalating to dangerous failures and a 9,000-mile retest anomaly demand thorough investigation.
A 9,000-mile discrepancy occurred on 01 Dec 2021, where the first test recorded 79,934 miles, but the retest on the same day recorded 70,934 miles, indicating a 9,000-mile drop.
Things to check

- Recurring tyre advisories on 01 Dec 2019, 01 Dec 2020, 01 Dec 2021, and 01 Dec 2024.
Working in its favour
