2012 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · KM62 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on April 29, 2025, at 139,296 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards following a failure on that same day. The lack of advisories in the two most recent passing tests suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they escalated into long-term failure trends. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging 10,000 miles per year. Between the May 2023 and the April 2024 test, the car covered 5,047 miles, while it clocked another 6,353 miles in the following year up to April 2025. This steady interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of engine seals and preventing the degradation of rubber components and brake lines. While the clean records in recent tests are encouraging, a buyer should focus on the inherent wear points of a 14-year-old Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Given the mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is essential, as these components often show fatigue at this stage. The previous failures in 2023 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle requires attention to pass, so the buyer should check for signs of oil leaks or corrosion on the exhaust system and mounting points.
