Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Line D MHEV Auto?

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 2022 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Line D MHEV Auto?

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 2022 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Line D MHEV Auto?

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.

Based on MOT data from 212 vehicles, the 2022 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Line D MHEV Auto has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.4%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Line D MHEV Auto?

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.

This 2022 E 220 AMG Line D MHEV is slightly more troublesome than the UK average, with a 76.1% first-time pass rate compared to the national 80%, and only 5.2% have ever suffered a dangerous defect—a reassuring figure for safety-critical systems. The diesel hybrid variant passes at 77.8%, suggesting the powertrain itself isn't the weak link.

These cars are averaging 51,550 miles at test time, which is higher than typical for their age, yet they're producing very few failures (0.11 per vehicle) and relatively light advisory counts (0.7 per vehicle). Before committing, get a full service history and have a Mercedes specialist inspect the hybrid battery and emissions system, as newer German luxury diesels can be expensive to repair if issues do emerge.
