Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz V 300 Amg Line D Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Mercedes Benz V 300 Amg Line D Auto?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This V-Class diesel is slightly more reliable than the UK average, with an 82.2% first-time pass rate against the 80% benchmark, and dangerous defects are rare at 7.2%—well below concerning levels. The low failure rate of 0.2 per vehicle suggests when things do go wrong, they're usually minor, though the 0.9 advisories per test indicate routine wear items need watching.

At 30,188 miles median for a 2022 model, these vans are running well within expected mileage for their age, suggesting they're either company fleet vehicles with controlled use or well-maintained private ownership. Before buying one, specifically check the service history and get an independent inspection of the cooling system and transmission, as these are the areas where advisories tend to cluster on higher-mileage examples.
