MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1985 Mercedes 230 (B445 XKK) between May 2006 and November 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 17 November 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Windscreen (31 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Steering (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Speedometer cannot be illuminated. (6.7.3)”; “Offside Lower Front suspension ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress ”; “Nearside Lower Front suspension ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress”.
