OGS 7 MOT History
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 1998 Mercedes-Benz Sl (OGS 7) between September 2005 and July 2024.
The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.
The most recent test on 04 July 2024 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 (10 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 38 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 Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Central Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
