MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Mercedes Unknown (F16 BBL) between May 2007 and November 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 15 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Steering (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Nearside Windscreen has damage to the swept area in excess of a 40mm circle outside zone 'A' (8.3.1d)”; “Brake load sensing valve linkage defective and function impaired (3.6.E.3)”; “Offside Front Power steering pipe(s) or hose(s) leaking (2.3.3b)”.
