MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mercedes Sprinter (SA04 DCG) between April 2007 and April 2016.

The record contains 10 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 25 April 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Suspension (22 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 67 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 Body has a sharp edge caused by damage (6.1.C.1)”; “Offside Rear Shock absorber has an excessively worn bush (2.7.4)”; “Offside Rear Rear reflector missing (1.5.1a)”.
