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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Mercedes E (W735 MCL) between December 2005 and October 2013.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
