MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mercedes C (YD04 JTJ) between August 2007 and July 2019.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 17 July 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint rear arm (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”.
