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 2008 Mercedes-Benz Cls (SH08 OWF) between April 2011 and October 2025.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 13 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (27 issues), Tyres (25 issues), Suspension (22 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 84 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 Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.
