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 2003 Mercedes-Benz Clk (FG53 UUW) between November 2006 and August 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 03 August 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Rear Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm both sides (5.2.3 (e”; “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
