AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 14,468 miles. While recent failures were promptly rectified, the consistent tyre wear and low initial mileage warrant a thorough investigation.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (689 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2020, followed by normal usage, indicating a potential odometer anomaly or period of inactivity.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Oct 2019, Jan 2023, Jan 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Significant mileage anomaly: 689 mi/yr equivalent before Jan 2020 suggests potential odometer fraud.
- Engine/Oil major failure recorded in Jan 2024, though rectified, is a concern for a 2016 diesel.
- Brake disc significantly worn advisory in Jan 2024, though rectified, points to past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-29, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No recurring major failures, with all significant defects promptly rectified.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2020, averaging 9,113 miles/year, is normal.
