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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 29,443 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the vehicle's safety record makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,356 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the recurring dangerous brake failures are a major concern.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-08-01, immediately followed by a PASS on 2025-09-01.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS brake failures in 2019 and 2025, indicating a systemic and unresolved safety issue.
  • Recurring MAJOR suspension failures in 2021 and 2025, with 6 related advisories, pointing to chronic neglect.
  • Recurring MAJOR brake hose corrosion failures in 2021 and 2025, with 4 related advisories, indicating a deep-seated safety problem.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,356 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-01, confirming current roadworthiness.
  • No outstanding recalls or major structural corrosion issues are evident in the MOT record.
