2012 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · M66 KSU

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 19 November 2025 at 108,815 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The test history shows two earlier failures in late 2025 at near-identical mileages of 108,790 and 108,811, both with no defects recorded, followed by a pass on the same day as the final failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical deterioration, and no advisories or faults were logged at any point. Average annual mileage sits at roughly 7,772 miles against the vehicle's 14-year life, a typical use profile for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The recorded jumps are modest: 104,356 miles at the October 2024 pass rising to 108,815 by November 2025, an addition of 4,459 miles over thirteen months. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged across the five entries supplied. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the car's age, as MOT records with zero advisories do not capture incipient wear below failure thresholds. The repeated zero-defect failures without listed faults warrant verification of the test centre's documentation and the actual road-going condition at point of sale. Prior to purchase, examine brake calipers for binding, check tyre tread depth and sidewall ageing, and confirm the exhaust system is sound. The absence of recorded defects implies reasonable upkeep, but the unexplained 2025 failures mean the buyer must validate the vehicle physically rather than rely on the certificate alone.
