This 2014 C220 AMG Line BlueTeC is a significant reliability concern—just 53% pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, and there are virtually no advisories being issued, which suggests failures are hitting hard rather than creeping up gradually. The diesel engine is the only variant in this sample, and it's failing consistently across the board at a 52.7% pass rate with an average of 0.43 failures per vehicle, pointing to systemic issues rather than isolated problems.
At 82,405 miles average, these cars are relatively well-used for their age, but the failure pattern isn't simply mileage-related wear—something structural about this model is underperforming. If you're considering one, budget for a full pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes specialist, focus your inspection on the diesel particulate filter and engine management systems (common failure points on this generation), and factor in above-average repair costs given the first-time pass rate deficit.
