MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mercedes-Benz C (OW04 AHX) between January 2008 and September 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 06 September 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (21 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt front (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt front (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”.
