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 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 17,684 miles. The car's past high mileage and recent low usage, combined with owner-reported faults, warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant jump to 31,940 miles/year before April 2018, which is unusually high for this vehicle's age and is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Unusually high mileage jump to 31,940 miles/year before April 2018.
- Recurring Windscreen Damage: Flagged in 3 separate MOT tests (2019, 2022, 2025).
- Recurring Suspension Arm Issues: Noted in 2 separate MOT tests (2019, 2025).
- Recurring Engine/Oil Advisories: Appeared in 2 separate MOT tests (2019, 2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-20, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent mileage trajectory post-2018, suggesting regular use after initial high mileage.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
