Moderate sample. 467 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2014 E250 AMG Sport is a significant reliability concern — only 35.3% pass their MOT first time, less than half the UK average of 80%, and virtually every example in this dataset is the diesel variant. The consistent failure rate across the 466 diesel cars sampled (35.1%) suggests the problem is inherent to this model and engine combination rather than random variation.

At around 83,000 miles median, these cars have racked up typical mileage for their age, yet they're still failing at double the national rate, pointing to fundamental durability issues rather than just high-mileage wear. Before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes-specialist mechanic who can check the diesel engine's common weak points — fuel injectors and turbo problems are rife in this generation.

The 2014 Mercedes Benz E250 Amg Sport CDI Auto passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
