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

UK

This 1995 Mercedes 308D LWB matches the UK average with an 80% first-time pass rate, and crucially, none of the 246 vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a genuinely clean safety record. The zero average failures and advisories per vehicle suggest these vans are either exceptionally well-maintained or, more likely, already filtered by age and the fact that only the most durable examples remain roadworthy.

The median mileage of 64,449 miles is notably higher than the mean of 32,224, indicating most survivors cluster around genuine 30-year age wear rather than cherished low-milers. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on rust, engine internals, and cooling systems—the absence of MOT failures doesn't mean hidden structural or mechanical rot isn't waiting to bite you.

MOT statistics not available

We have 246 1995 Mercedes 308d Lwb 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
