2013 MERCEDES UNKNOWN1.6L Petrol

The 2013 Mercedes presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 February 2026 at 37,754 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 22 January 2025 at 28,784 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicate the vehicle has not entered a pattern of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage record shows light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2025 test at 28,784 miles and the February 2026 test at 37,754 miles, the car covered just 8,970 miles in roughly thirteen months, an average near 8,300 miles per year and well below typical national averages. Over its life the averaged annual figure sits near 2,900 miles. The sparse two-entry history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected gaps, though the low standing-time risk associated with minimal use warrants a check for perished seals and flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the age and low-mileage profile. Long periods of inactivity can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs and underbody structures even when a test shows no active advisories. The clean MOT record does not waive the need for a physical check of exhaust emissions hardware and structural integrity beneath sills and arches. Given the absence of any recorded defects across both tests, no recurring consumable or mechanical trend requires correction. The previous keeper appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the limited dataset means a pre-purchase mechanical assessment remains the prudent step before purchase.
