AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Mercedes-Benz has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 5,956 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the repeated brake pipe corrosion and associated advisories warrant significant caution.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,268 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting periods of inactivity or very light use.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Feb 2023, Jan 2024, Feb 2025).
- Brake pipe excessively corroded on multiple sides (Feb 2025 failure) — a major safety concern.
- Tyre wear advisories in Feb 2026 and Jan 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
- Shock absorber advisory noted in Feb 2026 test, suggesting upcoming suspension work.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
