AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 46,577 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high number of failures and advisories, particularly in the last 3 years, indicates significant wear and potential future repair costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,210 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated between 3,000 and 8,000 miles in recent years.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) and advisories (Oct 2018, Oct 2023) indicate chronic wear.
  • Persistent brake system failures (Oct 2020, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) and advisories (Oct 2018, Oct 2022) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Tyre advisories (Oct 2018, Oct 2023, Oct 2025) and failures (Oct 2023, Oct 2024) show a pattern of neglect or poor fitment.
  • Four major failures and 13 tests over 13 years, with 4 failures in the last 3 years, points to a high-maintenance vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,210 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • Valid MOT until May 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
