MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mercedes-Benz Clk (HD54 AHX) between January 2008 and December 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 23 December 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (35 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Steering (4 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 Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”.
