This 2015 Mercedes-Benz has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 24,612 miles. While recent tests have been clean, the past issues and low mileage raise serious concerns.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (297 mi/yr equivalent) before January 2023, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 2025-10-22, indicating a critical safety hazard.
- Major Engine Failure: Engine MIL inoperative or malfunction was recorded on 2024-01-04.
- Suspension Ball Joint Failure: Both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints failed on 2024-01-04.
- Mileage Anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (297 mi/yr equivalent) before 2023-01-04.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT: The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-10-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No Recurring Failures: Despite past failures, the vehicle has not had recurring major failures in recent tests.
- Consistent Recent Passes: The last two MOT tests (Oct 2024, Oct 2025) were clean passes after initial failures.
