Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz S 580 L Amg Ln Prem + Exec E A?

This S 580 posts a first-time MOT pass rate of 87.3%, which is comfortably above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cars are generally well-maintained and reliable. The dangerous defect rate sits at a modest 11.7%, so structural or safety issues are not a significant buyer concern with this cohort.

At 38,500 miles median and 41,900 miles average for a 2022 model, these cars are running low mileage for their age, which explains the strong pass performance. The average failure count of just 0.19 per vehicle and 0.7 advisories per car reinforces that mechanical wear is minimal — when you inspect an example, focus your pre-purchase survey on the transmission and air suspension systems, which tend to be the cost-intensive items on high-specification Mercedes models.
