2020 Mercedes-Benz E 300 AMG Line Edition DE Auto 1.9L Electric diesel · LO70 FHP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-24 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 76,594 miles. The trend over the past two years is stable, though the single failure in November 2024—an offside rear tyre cut—stands out as an isolated incident rather than a recurring issue. Subsequent tests at 64,701 and 71,293 miles passed without failings, suggesting the tyre was replaced promptly after the 2024 failure. The absence of advisories or repeated faults implies the vehicle has not undergone significant mechanical neglect, but the clean MOT history does not preclude hidden wear from the elevated mileage. The recorded mileage of 76,594 miles over six years—approximately 12,766 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the AMG-tuned performance characteristics. The gap between the November 2024 failure (63,733 miles) and the December 2024 retest (64,701 miles) suggests the tyre was replaced within weeks, indicating at least one owner acted decisively on a critical safety issue. However, the consistent mileage accumulation without extended periods of inactivity raises concerns about accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, all of which are subject to increased stress under high-mileage conditions. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the rear suspension, particularly the offside components, given the 2024 tyre failure. Binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or corrosion on the rear axle should be checked, as these are common issues in high-mileage AMG models. The front suspension and steering geometry should also be scrutinised for excessive play in joints or worn track rod ends, which often manifest after prolonged high-mileage use. While the MOT record does not reveal structural corrosion or drivetrain faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant close examination of underbody panels, subframe mounts, and exhaust system integrity for signs of rust or fatigue. Given the lack of advisories, the absence of a service history complicates assessment, so verifying recent service records—especially for oil changes, timing belt (if applicable), and differential fluid—would provide further clarity on long-term maintenance.
