AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 28,382 miles. While it has a long MOT, the history of neglect in critical safety systems is a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (600 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2018, followed by an unusually high jump (25,717 mi/yr equivalent) to 45,206 miles by Sep 2018, and then consistently low annual usage (4,000-6,000 mi/yr) thereafter.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (Sep 2018) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring brake failures: 3 major failures and 9 related advisories across 2018–2023 MOTs.
- Recurring tyre failures: 1 major failure and 3 related advisories across 2018–2023 MOTs.
- Unusually low mileage: 600 mi/yr equivalent before Jan 2018, then 25,717 mi/yr spike in Sep 2018.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has maintained it well.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2018, showing no recent major usage spikes.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and well-engineered vehicle.
