2012 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · CW54 MLW

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 72,871 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A prior failure on the same date at 72,869 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative correction rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage sits at 72,871 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 5,205 miles per year. The record shows 64,553 miles on 14 February 2024, rising to 66,975 by 2 August 2024 and 72,871 by July 2025. Annual use stayed low and consistent, with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The clean test history across these distances suggests light use and basic statutory upkeep, though sparse entries limit deeper wear inference. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low mileage, as extended standing can accelerate perished rubbers and surface corrosion unseen in a pass-only record. The absence of advisories means no binding calipers, exhaust emissions faults, or structural integrity issues were logged by DVSA testers. Verify the 10 July 2025 failure-to-pass sequence with the selling garage to confirm no omitted rectification work. Otherwise the documented history supports a low-risk purchase pending a physical check of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition.
