MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Mercedes E (M830 ETN) between July 2005 and July 2014.

The record contains 10 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 1 advisory notice is 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 Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Nearside Front Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
