2021 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Lne Ngt Ed Prm + D A

CarHunch analysed 1,287 real MOT records for the 2021 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Lne Ngt Ed Prm + D A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This E 220 AMG passes its MOT slightly above the UK average at 81.2%, which is reassuring, but nearly a quarter of these cars have recorded at least one dangerous defect—that's a meaningful concern and suggests some ownership risks worth investigating on any example you view. The petrol/diesel split isn't available here, but the overall reliability picture is solid rather than outstanding.

At 35,161 miles median for a 2021 model, these cars are running relatively low mileage, which partly explains the decent pass rate. The average of 0.37 failures and 1.2 advisories per test suggests routine maintenance items are the main culprit rather than structural problems, so budget for regular servicing and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the brake system and suspension given the dangerous defect frequency.

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.
