MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mercedes-Benz E (DV02 MRV) between October 2008 and January 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 04 January 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (18 issues), Brakes (17 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 61 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: “Offside Rear Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
