MOT Analysis

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

35 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (P753 EVO) between November 2005 and October 2025.

The record contains 22 passes and 13 failures.

The most recent test on 14 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 13 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (39 issues), Lighting (19 issues), Bodywork (10 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
