MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 8 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 14 July 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 16 MOTs. The latest, on 15 July 2025, passed.

Advisories at the latest test: windscreen wiper blade defective; front brake pad(s) wearing thin; offside rear shock absorbers has light misting of oil; and 1 more.

Mileage at that test: 78,593 miles. The advert says 78,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 13,900 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL on AskCar.
