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 E (PX55 VLS) between August 2008 and October 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 01 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 45 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 Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
