17 FY MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Mercedes-Benz Sl (17 FY) between September 2006 and September 2026.
The record contains 20 passes and 5 failures.
The most recent test on 18 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 28 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 Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Driver's view of the road through the swept area of the windscreen materially affected by an obstruction STICKER IN B/A”.
