MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mercedes-Benz E (JHC 3) between March 2007 and October 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 21 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (32 issues), Brakes (25 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 56 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Inner Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
