MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mercedes E (FV52 AHY) between October 2005 and July 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 13 failures.

The most recent test on 29 July 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 13 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (7 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: “Offside Rear Inner Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure side wall (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Exhaust emissions exceed level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (8.2.2.2 (b))”; “Exhaust emits an excessive level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (7.4.B.3b)”.
