Moderate sample. 324 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
This 2013 E250 AMG Sport CDI is a serious reliability concern: only 25.5% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%, meaning three-quarters of these cars arrive at MOT with at least one failure. The good news is that no dangerous defects have been recorded in this cohort, so failures are irritating rather than safety-critical.
At 92,914 miles average, these vehicles are showing their age, and the diesel engines are proving demanding—averaging 0.32 failures per car suggests recurring mechanical wear rather than one-off issues. If you're considering this model, budget heavily for repairs and have a trusted mechanic inspect any example before purchase, because the MOT numbers suggest expensive surprises are the norm, not the exception.
The 2013 Mercedes Benz E250 Amg Sport CDI Auto passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (83.3%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 324 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.
