2022 Mercedes-Benz E 300 AMG LNE NGT ED Prem+ E A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SP22 NSU

A faultless DVSA record across five consecutive tests from June 2024 through to the most recent pass on 3 June 2026 establishes this E 300 AMG Line as a mechanically compliant vehicle under the official roadworthiness regime, with not a single advisory, minor, or failure item raised across the entire documented history. The clean pass sheet is particularly notable on a Mercedes-Benz of this complexity, given the dense packaging of the plug-in hybrid powertrain, the NGT natural gas system, and the AMG Line chassis hardware, all of which present multiple inspection points at MOT level. The absence of any recorded brake, suspension, tyre, or corrosion advisories suggests that the consumables replaced at service intervals have been kept well within legal tolerance, and that structural corrosion monitoring has yielded no concerns to date. Annual mileage of roughly 17,500 miles is well above the typical 8,000 to 10,000 mile average for an executive saloon of this age, placing this car firmly in the high-mileage bracket. Testing has occurred at perfectly regular six-monthly intervals with no significant gaps or standing periods, indicating continuous active use rather than intermittent or seasonal driving. Mechanically, this sustained rate of accumulation will accelerate wear on the typical high-mileage service items: the AMG Line dampers, coil springs, and control arm bushes are under more frequent loading cycles, the front and rear brake discs and pads will have seen substantially more thermal cycling, and the plug-in hybrid powertrain combined with the compressed natural gas system will have accumulated considerable operating hours on its high-voltage battery, e-modes, and NGT injectors and tanks. The diesel-typical soot-loading risk is irrelevant here, but the natural gas regulator, filler assembly, and tank integrity components merit close attention given the additional plumbing complexity. Given the absence of any advisory history, the inspection priorities for a prospective buyer must shift toward the components most likely to surface next given the usage profile. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which would point to worn upper or lower control arm bushes or drop links, and pay particular attention to any vibration through the steering wheel under braking, suggesting front disc lipping. Inspect the underside closely for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframe, suspension arms, and brake pipe runs, as these tend to be the first items flagged on later E-Class models once mileage climbs beyond the 70,000 mark. Verify that the plug-in charging cable and port are present and undamaged, and confirm that the vehicle switches cleanly between hybrid, electric, and combustion operation without warning messages, as any powertrain fault codes will not necessarily appear at MOT level but can be costly. Finally, request full Mercedes-Benz main dealer or specialist service history to confirm that the NGT natural gas system has been serviced at the correct intervals, that the high-voltage battery state of health has been monitored, and that brake fluid changes have been carried out on schedule. With no recorded defects to guide the inspection, a thorough pre-purchase inspection on a ramp remains essential, paying particular attention to the condition of the natural gas tanks and their securing straps, the integrity of any undertrays, and the operation of the AMG Line chassis through a series of direction changes to detect any bushing wear before it manifests on the next MOT. The recorded history is reassuring, but the combination of high annual mileage and the complex hybrid and gas powertrain makes proactive inspection particularly worthwhile.
