Mercedes Benz E250 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A (2012)
2012 Mercedes Benz E250 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A
CarHunch is tracking 365 2012 Mercedes Benz E250 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz E250 is a serious reliability concern: only 30% pass their MOT first time compared to the UK average of 80%, and the petrol version shows a 0% pass rate across 363 vehicles tested. While the data shows zero dangerous defects recorded and virtually no failures or advisories logged, the extremely low first-time pass rate suggests these cars are either failing on issues not captured in the aggregated statistics or the sample may contain data anomalies that warrant investigation before purchase.
At an average mileage of 59,199 miles for a 12-year-old car, these vehicles are running relatively low, which should help longevity—yet the stark pass rate disparity indicates structural problems with this specific model variant. Before committing to one, get a pre-purchase inspection from a Mercedes specialist and speak directly to owners about what's causing repeat test failures, as the headline statistics don't fully explain why three-quarters fail their first MOT attempt.
We have 365 2012 Mercedes Benz E250 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2012 Mercedes Benz E250 Sport Cgi Blueef Cy S/s A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
