MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Mercedes-Benz G-Class (DXZ 1096) between May 2006 and May 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 29 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (16 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers insecurely attached MOUNTING HAS COME AWAY FROM BODY DUE TO CORROSION (5.3.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”.
