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 2005 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (HDZ 7557) between May 2008 and May 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 19 May 2026 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: Suspension (22 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 40 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 Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
