This 2015 C220 AMG Line Bluetec is a concerning proposition—only 51.4% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, meaning nearly half fail their MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, but the consistently poor pass rate across all 295 diesel examples suggests systemic issues with this engine platform rather than isolated problems.

With median mileage of 80,583 miles for a nine-year-old car, these are reasonably used examples, yet they're averaging 0.41 failures per vehicle, which is substantially higher than you'd expect at this age. Before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel engine and emissions system—the MOT data points to recurring mechanical or emissions-related faults rather than wear-and-tear surprises.
