You'll only get the work done under warranty through a VMI query. Unless other work done to the car is done at that particular dealership you'll never know what's been done.

Yes, you'll see the work done on the car regardless of what dealership. But only work done under warranty meaning paied for by MB. Normal maintenance such as oil change, new brake pads etc will not show up unless your car came with rutine maintenance included.

And mine did, in fact it just expired 3 weeks ago. I don't recall if the OP's '05 came withe the 4 yr maintenance deal, but if it did, it will provide a good history for him.
