MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Mercedes-Benz Clk (BF53 BGV) between August 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 19 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (25 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Steering (8 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
