2012 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · JC60 JON

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 63,114 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual passes from June 2022 through June 2024 also logged no advisories or faults. The record shows no worsening mechanical issues across the five-year span. The Mercedes has covered roughly 4,508 miles per year since its 2012 registration, a low figure for a 14-year-old executive saloon. Mileage rose from 53,895 in June 2022 to 57,067 in June 2023, then 60,625 by June 2024, and 63,114 by June 2025, a steady ~3,000 to 2,500 annual increment with no sudden accumulation. A clean MOT history with no advisories on consumables or structure suggests either careful low-use ownership or periodic long standing, though the sparse entries give limited insight into intermediate wear. The only anomaly is the failed test on 14 June 2024 at 60,625 miles, reversed three days later on 17 June 2024 at identical mileage with a pass and no defects noted. This pattern implies an administrative or minor pre-test correction rather than a serious fault, but the buyer should confirm with the seller what triggered the failure. Given the absence of flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, a physical inspection should still verify underbody structural integrity for age-related rust and check for degraded suspension components or binding calipers that a no-defect test might miss on a lightly used car.
