MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Mercedes-Benz Clk (BT08 ADO) between November 2023 and January 2025.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (15 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Steering (3 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
