2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 AMG Line Electric · ST71 ABU

Tyre wear dominates the recent MOT record, with both front tyres flagged as being close to the legal limit and a rear‑side nail noted on the nearside rear wheel, yet the vehicle cleared both tests without a failure. The 2025 MOT showed these advisories alongside a clean pass, while the 2024 test recorded no defects at all, indicating no progression to outright failures but a need to address tyre condition promptly. At 37,306 mi after just over five years the average annual accumulation is roughly 7,460 mi, which sits comfortably within typical UK usage patterns for a premium electric hatchback. The MOTs have been carried out at the expected twelve‑month intervals, so there are no unexplained mileage gaps that would suggest prolonged storage or unusually rapid wear beyond normal road use. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough tyre inspection: confirm the nail has not caused a slow leak, examine the tread depth on all four wheels for uniformity, and check sidewalls for cuts or bulges that could indicate hidden damage. A test‑drive should include a feel for any vibration or wobble at speeds above 50 mph, which can betray uneven wear or a developing balance issue, and a check for steering pull to the left or right that might reveal misalignment stemming from the front‑tyre wear. Replacing the front tyres and addressing the rear nail before further use will eliminate the current advisories and restore full tyre performance. With no other recorded defects, the suspension, braking system and emissions components were deemed satisfactory at the last inspection, but standard mileage‑related wear should still be verified. Listen for any clunks over bumps that could hint at worn suspension bushes, and assess brake pedal feel for any judder that might suggest pad or disc wear approaching service limits. A visual check of brake discs for scoring and pads for thickness, coupled with a short road test to confirm consistent braking response, will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s remaining service life beyond the MOT record.
