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 2003 Mercedes-Benz Sl (LCZ 123) between January 2007 and June 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 08 June 2026 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: Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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 Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”; “Driver's door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle (6.2.B.1b)”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
