2020 Mercedes Benz E 300 Amg Ln Night Ed Prem+d A
CarHunch analysed 653 real MOT records for the 2020 Mercedes Benz E 300 Amg Ln Night Ed Prem+d A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This E 300 AMG has a first-time pass rate of 77.3%, which sits slightly below the UK average of 80%, suggesting a marginally less reliable track record than typical—but the real concern here is that 30.5% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above the safety threshold. That's a meaningful red flag for buyers considering this model.
With a median mileage of just under 37,000 miles for a 2020, these cars are running relatively low for their age, yet they're still averaging 0.5 failures and 1.7 advisories per test, indicating that condition matters more than use here. Before committing to one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake systems and suspension components, where Mercedes models of this generation commonly show weakness.
