# Mercedes-Benz Atego MOT reliability: pass rate and common failures | RegFlags

The Mercedes-Benz Atego passed its MOT first time 75% of the time, but from only 64 MOT tests, so treat it as a rough guide. See pass rates by year, common failures and typical mileage.

- First-time MOT pass rate: 75%
- MOT tests analysed: 64 (DVSA anonymised MOT data, 2025)
- Most common failure area: Lights & electrics

These figures come from 64 MOT tests. That's a fairly small number of cars, so they may not be typical of these cars as a whole.
