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 2005 Mercedes-Benz Sl (40 NY) between February 2008 and July 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 16 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (15 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”.
