MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Mercedes-Benz C (V213 EFH) between December 2005 and July 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 22 July 2026 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (35 issues), Brakes (31 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 85 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 Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced marked”; “Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced chassic marked in yellow ”; “Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced jacking point marked in y”.
