This 2013 E220 CDI is significantly less reliable than the UK average, with only a 43% first-time pass rate compared to 80%—meaning you should expect roughly six in ten examples to fail their MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures are primarily wear-and-tear items rather than safety-critical problems.

At nearly 97,500 miles median, these cars have been fairly well used, yet they're still generating 0.57 failures per test on average, suggesting the 2013 model year has underlying durability issues beyond simple age. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection from a Mercedes specialist, because while these aren't unsafe, you'll likely face repairs sooner than you would with a typical executive saloon of the same age.
