1992 MERCEDES 190 E1.8L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1992 Mercedes 190 E is from 2021-02-04, over five years ago. This lack of recent testing raises concerns about the vehicle’s current condition, as no valid MOT certificate exists to confirm compliance with safety standards. The history shows a pattern of recurring electrical issues, particularly with the hazard warning switch and horn, which have failed twice in separate MOTs. The 2021-02-04 failure highlighted a non-functional hazard warning switch (4.4.2 (a) (ii)) and a defective horn (7.7 (a) (ii)), both of which are critical safety components. A prior failure in 2018-03-10 also cited a faulty hazard warning switch (1.4.B.1d), suggesting a persistent electrical system weakness. While the 2019-06-06 MOT passed with no defects, the 252-mile reading recorded then appears unusually low for a 34-year-old vehicle, potentially indicating long-term under-use or storage. The vehicle’s mileage is unknown, making it impossible to assess whether the car has experienced normal wear, heavy use, or periods of inactivity. A low mileage reading in 2019 could imply infrequent driving, which might lead to issues like battery degradation or fluid stagnation. However, without consistent mileage data, this remains speculative. The trend of repeated hazard warning switch failures suggests a systemic electrical fault that may not have been fully resolved.
