MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mercedes-Benz C (KY05 WHA) between April 2008 and March 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 24 March 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 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 Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Road wheel fixing missing (5.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Road wheel fixing missing (5.2.1 (a) (i))”.
