2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 Sport 4MATIC Electricity · BJ71 PRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a concerning lack of proactive consumable replacement. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 74,758 miles, this followed a significant failure earlier that same month at 54,757 miles. The failure was driven by multiple critical tyre defects, including exposed cords and deep sidewall cuts, suggesting the previous owner neglected basic safety equipment until it reached the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. There is a rapid accumulation of 18,960 miles recorded between the November 2024 test at 35,797 miles and the November 2025 test at 54,757 miles. This high-intensity usage suggests the car was likely used for long-distance motorway commuting, which places accelerated stress on the EV drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the current tyre set, as the record shows a recurring pattern of uneven wear and premature failure across both axles. The November 2025 failure also noted an inability to test brake performance due to the hazardous rear tyres, which is a major red flag. You should verify the condition of the brake calipers and discs, checking for binding or uneven thinning. Given the high mileage, a close look at the front control arm bushings and suspension components for signs of tearing is essential to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis has not degraded under the heavy use.
