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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 30,428 miles. While mileage is high for its age, the consistent retesting and multiple advisories point to ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 17,244 miles per year, with a significant spike of 34,880 miles between Nov 2018 and Nov 2019, and a subsequent drop in annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jul 2018, Nov 2019, Oct 2020, Sep 2022) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring light failures (5 major failures, 1 advisory) in Jul 2018 and Sep 2022 suggest electrical issues.
  • High annual mileage (17,244 mi/yr) for a 2013 car will accelerate wear on all components.
  • Engine/Oil major failure in Jul 2018, though fixed, is a significant concern for a 2013 diesel.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent retesting pattern (e.g., Oct 2023 retest after failure) shows prompt issue resolution.
