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.

The 2021 Mercedes Benz E 220 Amg Lne Ngt Ed Prm + D A passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (88.7%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 88.7% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 1,287 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
