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 2004 Mercedes-Benz E (ML54 HME) between September 2007 and January 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 30 January 2026 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 (17 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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 lens seriously defective (4.1.1 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Headlamp lens seriously defective (4.1.1 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Inner Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.”.
