MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Mercedes 230 (G431 ATR) between February 2006 and March 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 10 March 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Windscreen (16 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 79 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: “Centre Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Rear rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”.
