This 2018 Mercedes-Benz E 220 D is a serious reliability concern: only 21.4% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. With zero recorded dangerous defects across 631 vehicles analysed, safety isn't the issue—instead, owners face repeated visits to the garage for non-critical faults that accumulate across test cycles.
At 52,546 miles average, these cars are running well within normal mileage for their age, yet still failing MOTs at nearly four times the national rate. The low advisory count (virtually zero per vehicle) suggests problems aren't caught early; instead, they emerge as hard failures when tested. Before buying, budget for ongoing repair costs and plan for regular pre-MOT servicing to catch issues before they become test failures.
The 2018 Mercedes Benz E 220 D Amg Line Premium Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 631 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.
