MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (MAX 557X) between July 2009 and May 2025.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 31 May 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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 Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Front Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”.
