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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 76,561 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest record introduces a minor electronic fault with the TPMS light remaining active. While the 2024 test showed a clean sheet, the previous entry in January 2024 flagged front tyres with uneven wear and depths near the legal limit, suggesting a period of deferred consumable upkeep followed by corrective maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There was a notable increase of 13,036 miles between the January 2024 and December 2024 tests, which indicates a period of higher usage compared to the previous years where the car covered only 3,804 miles between late 2021 and late 2022. This fluctuation in mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which can help prevent the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer should pay specific attention to the TPMS light to determine if the issue stems from a faulty sensor, a loss of pressure, or a failing control module. Given the uneven tyre wear noted in 2024, a physical inspection of the front alignment and suspension geometry is necessary to ensure that components are not causing premature tyre degradation. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, but a standard check of brake discs for thinning and caliper movement for binding remains prudent for a Mercedes vehicle of this age and mileage.
