This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 29,226 miles. The car's age and known model-specific issues also present significant long-term risks.
Mileage is consistently low, averaging 6,100 miles/year, with a notable drop to 997 miles between April 2023 and December 2023, but no fraud detected.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS Nearside Front Tyre bulge (5.2.3(d)(ii)) on 2017-03-31 MOT.
- Turbo oil feed line seal leak and oil filter housing leak are known model weaknesses.
- Head gasket and timing chain issues are common Mercedes-Benz problems.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,100 miles/year) suggests light use.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2017 tyre issue.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong safety features.
- MOT valid until 2026-12-10, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
