MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Mercedes Sl (M835 CCC) between October 2023 and August 2026.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
