Our Verdict
Strongly recommended based on the availa
When purchasing this vehicle, focus your attention on the service history documentation. While the MOT history is clean, MOT tests do not verify oil changes, filter replacements, or timing chain health, which are critical for the 2143cc diesel engine. Ensure there is evidence of regular servicing to support the low mileage.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and any upcoming maintenance requirements. Specifically, check for a record of brake pad replacement following the February 2022 advisory regarding thin rear pads, as this is the only defect noted in the five-year history.
The 2.1L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though tax and insurance will be reflective of its executive class and 2012 emissions standards. Maintenance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles of this era can be higher than for mass-market brands, particularly for specialized parts.
Annual costs will include the road tax for a 2012 diesel, insurance for an E-Class, and routine servicing. Given the engine size and vehicle age, you should budget for periodic wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake discs.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly; although the rear brake pad advisory from 2022 was the only issue recorded, it is important to confirm that the pads and discs have been replaced. Check the silver paintwork for any age-related deterioration or corrosion, which is common for vehicles of this era.
Given the diesel engine, check for any signs of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues if the car has been used primarily for short urban trips. While the MOT history shows no defects, a physical inspection of the suspension components and electronic systems is advised to ensure they are functioning correctly.
This silver 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class diesel has a consistent MOT record, with the most recent test in April 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects. With 88,623 miles recorded, the vehicle has covered significantly fewer miles than is typical for a diesel executive car of this vintage. The data shows a stable pattern of usage and a lack of recurring mechanical failures.
No aggregate data is available for this model, but this specific vehicle's history shows a high pass rate with minimal advisories.
