Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 July 2025 at 120,772 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of failing tests immediately prior to successful passes. The fact that the car passed both the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the previous owner addressed mechanical issues only when prompted by an inspection failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over two years between the August 2022 test at 101,269 miles and the April 2024 test at 109,790 miles. During this period, the vehicle covered roughly 8,500 miles, which aligns with the average annual usage. The recent accumulation of 11,000 miles between April 2024 and July 2025 indicates consistent use which generally helps maintain rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record lacks specific advisory notes that would indicate known wear. Given the age and mileage of this Mercedes-Benz, focus on the control arm bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity for signs of corrosion, particularly on the lower chassis. While the recent pass was clean, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest that components frequently reach the edge of their service limit, necessitating a close look at fluid leaks and mechanical play across the underbody.
