MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mercedes-Benz Ml (ORC 2) between February 2008 and February 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 11 February 2026 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: Suspension (32 issues), Brakes (30 issues), Lighting (27 issues), Tyres (19 issues), Steering (18 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 100 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 Anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting insecure outer bracket (5.3.3 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
