This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 9,938 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low mileage and recurring advisories on critical wear items make this a high-risk purchase.
A 4,422-mile decrease was recorded between Sep 2023 (41,464 mi) and Sep 2024 (29,802 mi), a clear red flag for potential odometer tampering.
