Identification of the vehicle — 3.5% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 3.5% of MOT failures on 2022 Mercedes-Benz V 220 Sport D Auto models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Tyres — 3.5% of failures
