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 21 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 38,679 miles. The vehicle's mileage has also been consistently low, raising significant concerns about its maintenance and true condition.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 6,043 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 19 miles per year recorded before Feb 2017 and just 324 miles per year before Mar 2026.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 5 major failures (lights, brakes, emissions, suspension) and 12 minor defects across 12 tests.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Feb 2017 (19 mi/yr equivalent) and Feb 2026 (324 mi/yr equivalent).
  • RECURRING ISSUES: Tyres (7 advisories), exhaust (5 advisories), headlamp (5 advisories), and suspension arm (2 advisories) show chronic neglect.
  • MILEAGE GAPS: A 2022 MOT gap is noted, suggesting periods of inactivity or off-road use.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until March 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • Euro NCAP: 5-star safety rating (2017) suggests good inherent safety features for a Mercedes-Benz model.
  • No Odometer Fraud: While mileage is suspiciously low, there is no evidence of deliberate odometer tampering or rollbacks.
  • No Outstanding Recalls: No specific recalls are identified in the provided data for this vehicle.
