MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Mercedes Sprinter (V890 EWA) between July 2005 and January 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 22 January 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (51 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Bodywork (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 83 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 Bumper damaged and likely to cause injury when grazed or contacted end cap missing (6.1.4 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak not checked due to exhaust leak (8.2.2.1 (b))”; “Brake pipe excessively corroded both front to rear (1.1.11 (c))”.
