This 2016 Mercedes-Benz has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 38,594 miles. The vehicle's high mileage for its age, combined with a period of very low usage, demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows 38,594 miles at its first MOT in Sep 2018, then 78,441 miles by Sep 2018, indicating a 40,747-mile increase in just 4 months, followed by a 2,395-mile increase over 11 months, which is highly irregular and suggests a major usage change.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 40,747-mile spike in Sep 2018, then 2,395-mile increase over 11 months (Aug 2019), indicating a significant change in usage.
- High cumulative mileage: 78,441 miles by Sep 2018, significantly above UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
- Suspiciously low recent mileage: Only 2,395 miles recorded between Aug 2019 and Sep 2020, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- First MOT at 38,594 miles in Sep 2018 was 3 years late, indicating a period of non-compliance.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across all 4 tests, indicating no dangerous defects or major system failures.
- Clean recent MOT pass on 2020-09-04 with no advisories, showing current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage before the 2018 spike, suggesting regular use for its first 2 years.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a very safe vehicle for its age.
