MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mercedes-Benz Slk (PE55 TVL) between November 2008 and August 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 13 August 2026 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: Brakes (27 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Bodywork (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 48 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 Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure outer wall (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
