2016 Mercedes-Benz GT 4.0L Petrol · BC04 AMG

The most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑18 recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. After a failure in March 2020 caused by exposed ply cords and widespread tyre wear, the car has passed every subsequent test, presenting only minor advisories such as windscreen damage and tyre edge wear. The pattern shows a stable to improving maintenance trend, with no new mechanical or structural faults emerging over the seven‑year span. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a ten‑year‑old model. From 23 862 mi in April 2019 the figure rose to 33 426 mi by March 2020, a jump of roughly 9 600 mi in ten months. Growth then slowed markedly, reaching 52 365 mi by May 2026—an average of about 5 200 mi per year. The interval between the 2025‑05‑13 test and the latest 2026‑05‑18 test is twelve months, within the standard annual cycle, indicating consistent, low‑intensity use rather than high‑stress mileage. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyres for uneven wear, checking tread depth and looking for any exposed cords, particularly on the rear tyres where edge wear has been noted. The windscreen merits close examination for chips or cracks; any damage should be repaired before it compromises visibility. The rear registration plate fixing should be verified for security, and suspension bushes and coil springs inspected for excessive wear. Brake discs and calipers need a visual check for binding or uneven wear, and a thorough under‑body scan for corrosion is advisable given the vehicle’s age. These checks will confirm that the low‑mileage history has not concealed latent wear on critical components.
