27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Mercedes-Benz 208 D (V277 EFF) between March 2006 and August 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (49 issues), Lighting (24 issues), Bodywork (14 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 90 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Rear fog lamp missing (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
