2022 Mercedes Benz G 400 Amg Line Prem + D 4m A

CarHunch analysed 254 real MOT records for the 2022 Mercedes Benz G 400 Amg Line Prem + D 4m A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This G 400 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 57.1%, well below the UK average of 80%, which is a genuine red flag for a premium diesel SUV. The dangerous defect rate sits at a modest 1.2%, so catastrophic failures are rare, but the gap between this car and typical vehicles suggests underlying issues worth investigating before purchase.

At 25,197 median miles for a 2022 model, these cars are running relatively low mileage, yet they're still failing MOTs at nearly double the national rate—pointing to build or design gremlins rather than wear-and-tear problems. With an average of 0.07 failures per vehicle, the issues are real but scattered across the fleet; get a pre-purchase inspection focused on diesel emissions systems and suspension components, as these are common weak points on the G-Class platform.

What to check before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz G 400 Amg Line Prem + D 4m A

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.
