2021 Mercedes-Benz E 220 AMG Line Premium D Auto 1.9L Diesel · XUI 7

The recorded DVSA test history for this 2021 Mercedes-Benz E 220 d AMG Line Premium is unusually sparse, with only a single MOT pass on file from 5 August 2025 and no defects or advisories recorded against that examination. While a clean pass is a positive indicator of roadworthiness at the point of test, the absence of any prior advisories means there is no longitudinal MOT data to draw conclusions about component wear trends, chronic issues, or the progression of corrosion on underbody or suspension elements. Any prospective buyer should treat the lack of advisory data as informational only and not assume it reflects the mechanical condition of the vehicle as it stands today, particularly given the mileage accumulated since that test. With 61,962 miles recorded at approximately five years of age, this E-Class has covered around 12,400 miles per year on average, which is notably high for a premium executive saloon of this type. Diesel Mercedes E-Class vehicles are typically used for higher-mileage touring, and at this accumulation rate, components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, diesel particulate filter, dual-mass flywheel, and suspension bushes will have experienced considerably more wear than a lower-mileage equivalent. The test record shows no MOT entries prior to 2025, which for a 2021 vehicle may simply reflect that it first became MOT-testable in 2025, but the rapid accumulation of mileage since the last recorded test warrants close scrutiny of service intervals and any recent work carried out. For a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the suspension, given that higher-mileage Mercedes E-Class models are prone to wear in the front lower wishbones, anti-roll bar bushes, and the self-levelling air suspension components if fitted to the Premium specification. Listen for clonking or knocking noises over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushes or ball joints, and observe whether the vehicle sits level at all four corners when stationary. Steering should feel precise and free from vagueness or pulling, and any delay or uneven self-centring could point toward worn track rod ends or suspension geometry issues. The braking system should be evaluated carefully both for feel and for signs of binding calipers, which are a known wear item on higher-mileage Mercedes-Benz vehicles and often only become apparent after the vehicle has warmed up. During the test drive, apply the brakes firmly several times from higher speeds to check for judder, which may indicate warped front or rear discs, and listen for any grinding or scraping noises that could suggest pads are nearing replacement despite not being flagged at the last MOT. Given the high annual mileage and the diesel powertrain, it is also advisable to check for any smoke on startup, rough idle, or hesitation under acceleration, as well as confirm whether the diesel particulate filter has been subject to recent regeneration issues, all of which would warrant further investigation with a Mercedes-Benz specialist before committing to purchase.
