MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mercedes-Benz Ml (HT04 MZX) between June 2007 and November 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 18 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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 Rear Anti-roll bar linkage missing (5.3.3 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
