AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 26,484 miles. While these were addressed, the high mileage for its age and the nature of these recurring faults warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,139 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
Things to check
- Recurring headlamp aim failures (Mar 2022) and loose headlamp (Mar 2022) indicate electrical issues.
- Recurring tyre wear advisories (Mar 2022) and a major cut failure (Mar 2022) suggest ongoing tyre maintenance needs.
- Windscreen damage noted in 3 separate MOT tests (Apr 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2022) shows a persistent issue.
- High annual mileage (12,139 mi/yr) for an 8-year-old car will accelerate wear on components.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
- All major and minor failures were promptly rectified, indicating responsive ownership.
