2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E220 BLUEF-CY SPORT CDI A2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 90,988 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 15 June 2024 at 88,696 miles confirms the owner cleared the earlier failure without lingering advisories. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year span. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,499 per year against the car's 14-year life, with 90,988 miles recorded overall. The history shows light, consistent use: 83,523 miles in May 2022, 86,238 in May 2023, 88,476 by May 2024, and 90,988 by May 2025. A notable event occurred on 24 May 2024 when the car failed at 88,476 miles, yet the tester logged no defects; the owner retested and passed three weeks later at 88,696 miles. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a worn component. The clean MOT lineage means no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion items were formally flagged for in-person follow-up. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the car's age, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not certify absence of developing rust or worn consumables. The 2024 failure with no recorded defect warrants a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm the reason. Otherwise, the evidence implies a carefully stored example with basic upkeep met. Pre-purchase checks on tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions remain sensible given the low annual mileage and probable periods of standing.
