MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300 (TKY 633Y) between May 2006 and May 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (24 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Brakes (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (3.7.B.5b)”; “Nearside Rear rear brake binding (3.7.B.1)”; “Central Exhaust system not adequately supported (7.1.1)”.
