MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Mercedes-Benz C (SM52 MOD) between September 2015 and November 2025.

The record contains 11 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 13 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
