Mercedes Benz V 300 Amg Line Premium D Auto (2024)
2024 Mercedes Benz V 300 Amg Line Premium D Auto
CarHunch analysed 143 real MOT records for the 2024 Mercedes Benz V 300 Amg Line Premium D Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2024 V-Class is failing its MOT at a dramatically low rate: just 32.3% pass on first attempt, compared to the UK average of 80%. With dangerous defects recorded in less than 1% of vehicles tested, safety isn't the immediate concern—rather, this is a fleet of very new cars with minimal mileage (median 17,524 miles) still working through teething issues and warranty recalls that typically affect fresh Mercedes models.
At an average of 0.2 advisories per vehicle and negligible failures, most defects are minor and easily remedied, but the sheer volume of first-time failures suggests systematic issues during build or early-life performance rather than owner neglect. If you're considering this model, request the detailed MOT failure records from any used example you view to understand whether the faults are design-related (affecting all units) or specific to that vehicle's history.
What to check before buying a 2024 Mercedes Benz V 300 Amg Line Premium D Auto
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.
