UK

The 1995 Mercedes 312D LWB is a heavy commercial vehicle—a large van or light truck—and does not appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database used here. These vehicles are instead tested under the DVSA heavy commercial regime, which means the 0.1% pass rate figure is an artifact of the data system and should be ignored entirely; there is no reliability verdict to draw from it.

The 312D was a workhorse cab-over-engine design popular for delivery and logistics work, known for durability but now nearly 30 years old. If you are considering one, focus instead on full service history, the condition of the engine and transmission, and whether it has been well-maintained—since finding parts and specialist servicing for a vehicle this age and type can be challenging and expensive.

MOT statistics not available

We have 414 1995 Mercedes 312d 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
