MOT Analysis

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

34 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mercedes-Benz C (BG05 DYA) between May 2008 and March 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 15 failures.

The most recent test on 06 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 15 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (32 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 72 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: “Nearside Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
