Mercedes 300e Auto (1991)
1991 Mercedes 300e Auto
CarHunch is tracking 215 1991 Mercedes 300e Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1991 Mercedes 300E Auto achieves a 90% first-time pass rate, well above the UK average of 80%, with zero dangerous defects recorded across the 215 vehicles analysed. This is a genuinely impressive result for a 33-year-old car, suggesting that surviving examples have been properly maintained.
At an average mileage of 143,970 miles, these are not high-milers for their age, and the zero average failures and advisories per vehicle indicate owners have addressed wear items before MOT time. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the automatic transmission and cooling system—the real weak points on these engines tend to emerge between tests rather than fail them outright.
We have 215 1991 Mercedes 300e Auto vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1991 Mercedes 300e 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.
