MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Mercedes Ml (BF57 VXA) between September 2010 and September 2015.

The record contains 6 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 25 September 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Nearside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (1.7.5a)”; “Offside Rear brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (3.5.1i)”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
