2012 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · RO62 UNU

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 10 October 2025 at 130,456 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a recurring pattern of administrative test failures without logged mechanical defects. The vehicle failed on 4 September 2025 at 130,158 miles and previously on 24 August 2023 at 124,008 miles, both immediately followed by passes with zero faults noted. This suggests the failures stemmed from non-mechanical test anomalies or documentation issues rather than worsening wear. Mileage stands at 130,456 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,318 miles per year which is typical for the vehicle's age. The records show steady annual use: 124,009 miles in August 2023, 128,678 miles by August 2024, and 130,158 by September 2025. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing gaps appear in the data. The sparse clean history across four years indicates consistent but unremarkable usage with no flagged consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and suspension bushes given the car's age and the unexplained double-test failures. The absence of advisories on coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion in the official record does not preclude latent wear unseen during the brief test window. Verify the reason for the September 2025 and August 2023 failures with the testing station, as repeated no-defect rejects may mask unresolved tester disputes or emission reader faults. Prior owners kept the drivetrain within expected mileage bands and avoided recorded mechanical lapse. The clean pass at 130,456 miles implies basic upkeep was maintained, yet the two anomaly failures warrant scrutiny of the vehicle's test provenance before purchase.
