MOT Analysis

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

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Mercedes E (W257 XCE) between May 2006 and June 2009.

The record contains 4 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 12 June 2009 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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 Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Nearside Front Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”.
