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 1981 Mercedes Hymernobil (YAV 315X) between August 2006 and August 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 07 August 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 (27 issues), Lighting (25 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 45 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 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Seat belt flexible stalk cable has broken strands (5.2.4b)”.
