MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Mercedes-Benz Ml (R4 SAB) between January 2006 and September 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 24 September 2025 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 (17 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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: “Emissions not tested (8.2.2.2 (e))”; “Rear Anti-roll bar linkage missing both missing links (5.3.3 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
