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 2003 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (HD53 EGY) between December 2006 and November 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 09 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (21 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 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: “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded above axle area. (1.1.11 (c))”; “Exhaust system insecure Broken away from gear box mount, & both centre mounts. (6.1.2 (a))”.
