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 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 09 January 2026 at 106,933 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 73,303 miles and January 2025 at 99,272 miles, the car covered over 26,000 miles, which represents a slight spike in annual usage but reflects steady operation. The long interval between tests suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the relatively low total mileage. The single failure recorded on 10 January 2024 at 88,274 miles, followed immediately by a pass the next day, indicates a minor defect that was rectified quickly. Because the record shows no recurring mechanical advisories across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests, the buyer should focus on age-related wear that the MOT does not always capture. A physical inspection should on checking for structural corrosion on the subframe and suspension mounting is essential, as these are common failure points for Mercedes-Benz models of this era regardless of recorded mileage.
