This 2013 ML250 AMG is a significant reliability concern: only 34% pass their MOT first time, versus the UK average of 80%, and diesel variants fare equally poorly at 33%. The silver lining is that dangerous defects are virtually absent, but the high failure rate still signals you'd be facing repeat test visits and repair bills.
At nearly 97,000 miles on average, these cars have been driven hard, yet they rack up only 0.21 failures per vehicle—suggesting the problems are minor niggles rather than catastrophic faults. If you're considering one, budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes specialist, because the first-time pass rate tells you that ownership surprises are common.
