2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ Touring Electricity · 28 ASH

The vehicle currently has no recorded MOT history, which is consistent with its age as a 2024 model. Under UK law, new vehicles typically do not require their first Ministry of Transport test until the end of their third year. Consequently, there is no historical failure data or advisory trend to evaluate, suggesting the vehicle is likely still within its initial manufacturer warranty period and has not yet been subject to independent regulatory scrutiny. There is insufficient mileage data available to establish a definitive usage pattern or annual average. For a high-performance electric vehicle of this specification, the absence of recorded mileage makes it imperative to verify the odometer against the digital service record. Rapid mileage accumulation on an AMG EQS can lead to accelerated tyre degradation due to the immense torque and vehicle mass, while excessively low usage may introduce risks associated with vehicle stasis. Given the lack of MOT defects, the inspection should focus on the specific mechanical vulnerabilities of a heavy luxury EV. Particular attention must be paid to the brake discs and calipers; because regenerative braking reduces traditional friction brake usage, these components are prone to surface corrosion or binding. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for brake shudder. Additionally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing if the car has been stationary for long periods, and check the tread depth across the width of the tyre to ensure no premature wear from aggressive cornering or incorrect alignment. Further evaluation should extend to the air suspension system and the 12V auxiliary battery. Ensure the vehicle rises and lowers smoothly without audible leaks or hesitation, as air spring failures can be costly. Verify that the 12V battery is maintaining a healthy charge to prevent electronic glitches in the complex onboard systems. Finally, confirm that all calendar-based maintenance has been performed regardless of mileage, specifically checking the brake fluid condition and cabin filtration systems, as these degrade over time irrespective of the distance travelled.
