MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mercedes-Benz Ml (P14 FLA) between August 2006 and February 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 04 February 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (23 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Windscreen (11 issues), Steering (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 43 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: “Exhaust emissions exceed level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (8.2.2.2 (b))”; “Nearside Front Steering linkage ball joint has excessive play track rod (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage missing (5.3.3 (a) (ii))”.
