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 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 16,742 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and recurring faults warrant a thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual usage until 2024, but a massive 76,473-mile jump between Aug 2024 (107,560 mi) and Aug 2025 (184,212 mi) is highly suspicious and suggests a significant change in usage or potential fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 76,473-mile jump between Aug 2024 (107,560 mi) and Aug 2025 (184,212 mi) is highly suspicious.
- Recurring Tyre Issues: Multiple tyre advisories and failures across 2018, 2023, and 2024 MOTs.
- Recurring Airbag/Seatbelt Issues: Multiple airbag/seatbelt advisories and failures across 2018 and 2024 MOTs.
- Recurring Brake Disc Issues: Multiple brake disc advisories and failures across 2018 and 2024 MOTs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOTs (Aug 2025).
- Consistent annual mileage until 2024, suggesting regular use.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
