Mercedes-Benz AMG-Class MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Mercedes-Benz AMG-Classes in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Mercedes-Benz AMG-Class registrations over time

Registrations of Mercedes-Benz AMG-Classes for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 10,566 in 2019. In 2025, 4,555 were registered.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
  • Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as well as on fuel.
  • Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
  • VCA’s data has no Mercedes-Benz versions for 2019, so the years listed may leave out years the Mercedes-Benz AMG-Class was on sale.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “AMG GT Coupe Model Year 2026”, “AMG GT, Model Year 2018”, “AMG GT Coupe Model Year 2027”, “AMG GT 4 Door Coupe Model Year 2023”. How we use VCA’s figures.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Mercedes-Benz AMG-Class. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer.

  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
