Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2012 Mercedes Benz E200 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2012 Mercedes Benz E200 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2012 Mercedes Benz E200 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2012 Mercedes Benz E200 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific Mercedes Benz E200 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

This 2012 Mercedes-Benz E200 Sport has no MOT test records in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot provide a reliability verdict based on inspection data. The vehicle may have been registered as a heavy commercial or specialist vehicle tested under a different regime, or the cohort size may reflect very limited UK registration of this specific variant.

With an average mileage of just 42,192 miles across 1,396 recorded vehicles, these E200s have been lightly used—suggesting they were either cherished executive cars or spent significant time off the road. Without MOT failure data, focus your pre-purchase inspection on the engine bay, transmission, and suspension components typical of ageing Mercedes petrol units, and always obtain a full service history and independent inspection before committing to a purchase.

MOT statistics not available

We have 1,396 2012 Mercedes Benz E200 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
