MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Mercedes 500 (H303 HOD) between April 2006 and August 2014.

The record contains 6 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 05 August 2014 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (12 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Steering (3 issues). 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: “Offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Nearside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Offside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”.
