2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 AMG Line 4MATIC Electric · EL16 AGE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the three-year history, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with the vehicle consistently passing its inspections. The only recorded issue was a single advisory in 2025 regarding offside front tyre wear, which appears to have been addressed prior to the most recent test. This indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. With a recorded mileage of 37,096 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,419 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle and suggests a balanced duty cycle. There are no indications of excessive wear associated with high-mileage commuting, nor are there signs of the degradation typically found in vehicles that have suffered from prolonged periods of standing. The mechanical components should therefore exhibit wear consistent with moderate, regular use. Despite the clean MOT record, the previous advisory regarding edge wear on the offside front tyre warrants a close inspection of the current tyre set. A prospective buyer should examine all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, pay close attention to any pulling under acceleration or braking and listen for abnormal noises from the steering rack or suspension components, particularly when navigating uneven road surfaces. Given the nature of electric vehicles and this specific age profile, particular attention should be paid to the braking system. Because regenerative braking reduces the physical use of the brake discs and pads, there is an increased risk of binding calipers or surface corrosion on the discs. Ensure the brakes feel responsive and do not shudder under load. Additionally, verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and cabin filter changes, and inspect the 12V auxiliary battery health to ensure reliable start-up and electronic system stability.
