Mercedes Benz E300 Amg Sport Bluetec Hybrida (2013)
2013 Mercedes Benz E300 Amg Sport Bluetec Hybrida
CarHunch analysed 360 real MOT records for the 2013 Mercedes Benz E300 Amg Sport Bluetec Hybrida. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Mercedes is a concerning prospect: just 1.9% of these vehicles passed their MOT on the first attempt, versus the UK average of 80%, and every single diesel-electric hybrid in this dataset failed initial testing. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent (0%), so while these cars clearly need work, they're not safety hazards.
At an average mileage of 110,727 km, these 2013 models are well-used, yet they're averaging only 0.03 failures per vehicle across the entire test—suggesting most issues get fixed quickly once identified. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid system and diesel engine integration, as the near-total first-time failure rate points to specific problem areas rather than general decay.
What to check before buying a 2013 Mercedes Benz E300 Amg Sport Bluetec Hybrida
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
