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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 39,769 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 15-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 7,689 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2015 to 2026, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Wheel bearing advisory present in 4 separate tests (Dec 2024, Feb 2026) — a persistent and serious safety concern.
  • Brake system failures and advisories in 13 separate tests (Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Dec 2024, Feb 2026) — extensive and recurring wear.
  • Suspension failures and advisories in 11 separate tests (Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Dec 2024, Feb 2026) — widespread and recurring issues.
  • Anti-roll bar link advisory on Dec 2023 escalated to MAJOR failure on Dec 2024 — clear escalation pattern.

Working in its favour

  • No evidence of odometer fraud detected in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for this model is a positive for overall structural integrity.
  • The car has a consistent MOT history since its first test in 2015, with no significant gaps.
