MERCEDES-BENZ E2012 · 2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 passed with no defects recorded, continuing a streak of three clean passes following a minor setback. While there was a failure in late 2023, the car has consistently cleared its subsequent inspections, suggesting that identified issues are addressed promptly and maintained to meet safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of distance between tests, moving from roughly 98,700 miles in late 2022 to over 119,000 miles by 2025. This regular usage suggests the car is driven consistently rather than sitting idle, which is often beneficial for seals and mechanical components that can dry out during long periods of inactivity. While the recent records show no active defects, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common areas prone to wear on a Mercedes of this era. Given the age and mileage, it is vital to check the suspension bushings and control arms for signs of tearing, as these often degrade before triggering an MOT failure. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs and rotors for uneven wear and check the underside for any emerging corrosion, ensuring the structural integrity remains as sound as the digital history suggests.
