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 1994 Mercedes-Benz E (E8 SHJ) between August 2005 and February 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 24 February 2023 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: Brakes (17 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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: “Front Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a body”; “Rear Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a body ”; “Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength n/s/r facing rear”.
