MERCEDES-BENZ E250 SPORT ED125 CDI BLUE-CY A2012 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-12 at 94,452 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, though a failure in 2024-07-31 at 81,661 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or minor undiagnosed concerns. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical failures or structural issues in the last three years implies the car has been maintained to a standard acceptable for its age and mileage. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,452 miles at 14 years old equates to approximately 6,747 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, a significant jump from 82,412 miles (2024-08-15) to 94,452 miles (2025-08-12) reflects a 12,040-mile increase in 12 months, exceeding the average. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions systems. The sparse MOT history between 2023 and 2025, with no advisories, suggests minimal intervention but does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond legal requirements. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the rear suspension, particularly coil springs and bushings, for signs of wear given the mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as higher usage often exacerbates these issues. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and exhaust system integrity, warrants scrutiny, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The 2024 failure, though unexplained, underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify any latent issues not captured in the MOT records.
