2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E2.1L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-06-24 at 106,783 miles, with no defects recorded. This suggests a stable maintenance trend, as prior tests in 2024 and 2023 showed mixed outcomes but no persistent mechanical issues. The 2024-06-25 test recorded both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, which may indicate administrative errors or unrecorded corrective actions. However, the absence of defects in the latest assessment implies the car is currently roadworthy, though the repeated failures at lower mileages warrant scrutiny for unresolved underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,783 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 7,627 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record between 2023 and 2024 tests suggest potential periods of reduced monitoring, though the 2024-06-25 pass at 97,685 miles indicates no immediate structural or mechanical failures. The 2023-06-27 tests, which included a fail and a pass at 89,260 miles, may reflect minor issues resolved before the subsequent pass. The data lacks specific defect details, limiting definitive conclusions about wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the repeated MOT attempts. Corrosion risks, especially in the exhaust system or underbody, warrant attention, as salt exposure or lack of use can accelerate deterioration. While the latest MOT confirms roadworthiness, the historical inconsistencies highlight the need for a physical inspection to verify the absence of unresolved faults.
