2024 Mercedes Benz E 300 Amg Line Premium + E A

CarHunch analysed 191 real MOT records for the 2024 Mercedes Benz E 300 Amg Line Premium + E A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This E 300 is a deeply troubling buy based on these early MOT results: just 15.7% of vehicles passed first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and the median CarHunch score of 40 out of 100 signals serious reliability problems across this cohort. While dangerous defects aren't yet showing (0%), the sheer scale of failure—with vehicles averaging 26,000 miles at just one year old—suggests systemic issues emerging very early in the car's life.

The mileage itself isn't unusually high for a 2024, but the fact that roughly 84% of tested examples needed repairs before passing is extraordinary for a nearly-new premium saloon. Before committing to one of these, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes specialist, get a full warranty quote from the dealer, and ask the seller directly what work was required at the most recent MOT.

What to check before buying a 2024 Mercedes Benz E 300 Amg Line Premium + E A

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.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
