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 Vito (YC08 SBY) between October 2011 and October 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.
