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 2002 Mercedes-Benz Sl (55 MA) between October 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 29 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (7 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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: “Electronic stability system warning lamp indicates a fault (3.4.1c)”; “Offside Front Obligatory mirror seriously deteriorated, affecting the rear view (8.1.2a)”; “Offside Rear Fluid suspension unit leaking (2.4.D.2)”.
