2022 Mercedes-Benz Evito Pro — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 269 MOT tests, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Evito Pro recorded an 87.7% pass rate. That is 5.0 percentage points worse than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 7.2%. Failures cluster in body, structure & corrosion, tyres and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — body, structure & corrosion (4.8%) and tyres (4.8%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are joints, rbt (sp) and tread depth — joints alone was recorded 18 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2022 Evito Pro fails 13.8% of the time in the 0-30k band and 10.0% at 60-90k, a spread of only 3.8 points.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 17.8% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 7.9% of tests failed in 2023 against 15.0% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |

Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 123 | 13.8% |
| 30-60k | 80 | 11.3% |
| 60-90k | 40 | 10.0% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 38 | 7.9% |
| 2024 | 66 | 9.1% |

What to check before buying a 2022 Evito Pro
On a 2022 Evito Pro, body, structure & corrosion is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 4.8% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Body, structure & corrosion (4.8% of tests): The one to take seriously on older cars — corrosion to structural areas can be costly and is an MOT failure. Typical repair: £200–£1,500+.
- Tyres (4.8% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Brakes (3.7% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
