This 2013 E220 AMG Sport is a serious reliability gamble: only 23.2% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. At nearly 93,000 miles on the clock, these are high-mileage examples, and the wear is showing—the median CarHunch score of just 35 tells you these cars are structurally compromised.

The 0.36 average failures per vehicle suggests issues are widespread but typically not catastrophic, though the absence of advisories is unusual and may indicate testing against older, less stringent standards. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection from a Mercedes specialist and budget for immediate remedial work—buying one expecting it to simply pass its next MOT is not realistic.

The 2013 Mercedes Benz E220 Amg Sport CDI Auto passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (80.8%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
