MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 1992 Mercedes 500 (J782 WFF) between January 2007 and April 2014.

The record contains 8 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 04 April 2014 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: Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 Direction indicator excessively damaged so that it is not visible from a reasonable distance (1.4.A.2e)”; “Nearside Rear Body has a sharp edge caused by damage (6.1.C.1)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
