MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (KP52 YMC) between December 2005 and October 2022.

The record contains 18 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 14 October 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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 Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
