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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Mercedes-Benz Ml (S796 ETV) between January 2006 and January 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Bodywork (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 70 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: “Rear Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced Near tow bar (6”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
