MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Mercedes-Benz C (SM56 VLW) between December 2009 and February 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 03 February 2026 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 (14 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Brake pipe leaking on an air braking system front to rear (1.1.11 (b) (i))”.
