Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11T CW MS725

The Mahle MS725 starter motor is a new 12V unit with clockwise rotation, 11 teeth, and a 3.2kW power rating. It is listed as a reduction gear starter motor with a 2 hole starter mount type and 2 mounting bores, so the mounting pattern and engagement details need to match the vehicle application carefully before purchase.

Key dimensions include 105mm mount centres, a 13.5mm mount hole diameter, an 82.5mm flange diameter, and an overall length of 277mm. The pinion measures 40mm in diameter, with pinion at rest listed at 21mm and a flywheel depth of 24.0, which are all useful checks when comparing against the removed starter.

This starter is marked Mahle brand, part number MS725, and new rather than remanufactured. It carries a one year warranty and is described as being made from high quality raw materials to support long life and optimal performance, while remaining a specific fitment-sensitive component rather than a universal replacement.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the removed starter motor against MS725 using the part number, the 12V rating, clockwise rotation, and the 11 tooth pinion count. Those items are the most direct checks for starter interchange, and they should line up before any broader assumptions are made about compatibility.

The mounting details matter just as much as the electrical rating. This unit uses a 2 hole starter mount with 2 mounting bores, 105mm mount centres, and a 13.5mm mount hole diameter, so the bolt pattern and physical location must match the vehicle exactly for the starter to sit correctly.

Physical size also needs to be checked, especially where clearance is tight around the bellhousing or transmission housing. The important dimensions here are 277mm overall length, 82.5mm flange diameter, 40mm pinion diameter, 21mm pinion at rest, and 24.0 flywheel depth, all of which can affect whether the starter will install and engage properly.

Because this is a reduction gear starter motor, it is not enough to match only the voltage. Confirm the application details on the vehicle, compare the old unit side by side where possible, and verify the part number MS725 against the existing starter or service records before fitting.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number MS725 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number MS725 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number MS725, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Where no verified application list is available, the part number, mounting details, connector style, and published specifications should be used as the primary selection criteria.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number MS725, 12V clockwise rotation, 11 tooth pinion count, and the mounting and dimension details listed above with the vehicle application before purchase.
