2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ AMG Line Premium + Electricity · HIG 1

The most recent MOT test conducted on 31 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards at the time of inspection. Based on the available records, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures typically flagged during annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 31,247 miles over a four-year period represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,812 miles. This is consistent with typical usage patterns for a premium electric vehicle and suggests a balanced driving profile. This level of mileage is mechanically advantageous as it avoids the heavy component wear associated with high-mileage vehicles, while also preventing the specific issues that arise from excessive standing, such as brake seizure, tyre flat-spotting, or fluid contamination. As the MOT history is clean, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than documented mechanical faults. You should carefully examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, sidewall cracking, or uneven wear, which can occur due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension, such as clunks or knocks, which could indicate worn bushes or coil springs. It is also prudent to check the condition of the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, particularly if the vehicle has spent significant time stationary. Given the vehicle is a high-specification electric model, verify the service history to ensure all time-sensitive maintenance has been completed, such as brake fluid replacements and cooling system checks. Pay close attention to the 12V auxiliary battery health, as these components can lose capacity over several years regardless of the main high-voltage battery's state. Finally, ensure that all exterior lighting, wiper blades, and seals are in good condition, as these are common areas of wear that may not always trigger an MOT failure but are essential for long-term reliability and comfort.
