No MOT data — worth knowing

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

The 1990 Mercedes 300E-24 is no longer represented in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database, which means there is no reliable pass-rate data available for this cohort—the figure shown reflects database anomalies rather than actual test outcomes. This 34-year-old saloon sits at the boundary of recordable MOT history, and surviving examples are now sufficiently rare that meaningful statistical analysis isn't possible through standard testing channels.

What matters for a buyer is that any 1990 Mercedes of this age will require a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a specialist, particularly given the model's complexity and the difficulty of sourcing parts. Focus on service history, undercarriage condition, and whether the car has been regularly maintained by someone familiar with W124-era Mercedes engineering—rarity and age make this a collector's or enthusiast's purchase rather than a practical daily driver.

MOT statistics not available

We have 261 1990 Mercedes 300e 24 Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
