2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 AMG Line 4MATIC Electric · GU23 VRP

A clean bill of health on the most recent MOT dated 9 July 2026 sits alongside a prior test from March of the same year that was passed but carried a cluster of tyre-related advisories. The overall picture is one of solid roadworthiness with no recorded failures and only a modest handful of advisories across the documented history, all centred on tyre condition rather than structural, brake, or suspension components. Notably, three of the four advisories from the March 2026 test concerned tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, while a fourth flagged slight damage to the nearside front tyre. The absence of any subsequent advisories in the July 2026 test suggests the tyres were replaced or rotated in the intervening months, returning the vehicle to a defect-free pass. Against an expected annual mileage of roughly 9,800 miles based on the 29,451 recorded miles over approximately three years of age, the usage profile sits comfortably within typical parameters for a family-oriented electric SUV. There are no extended gaps in testing history to suggest prolonged periods off the road, which on a battery-electric vehicle is generally favourable for maintaining drive unit and high-voltage system health, though specific battery state-of-health data would require separate diagnostic evaluation beyond MOT records. With this level of annual mileage, wear on consumables such as brake components tends to be relatively low given the regenerative braking characteristic of electric drivetrains, while tyres, suspension bushes, and anti-roll bar links remain the primary wear items. Given that all four advisories on file relate to tyres, a prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the current set fitted to the vehicle. Edge wear on both front and rear axles, as previously flagged, can indicate alignment deviation, suspension geometry wear, or simply that the tyres have reached the end of their usable life. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or road noise that intensifies over certain surfaces, which would suggest a tyre carcass deformation or belt separation rather than simple tread wear. Check that the steering returns to centre without residual pull and that the vehicle tracks straight under gentle braking, as uneven edge wear across an axle can mask a tracking issue that will prematurely consume a fresh set of tyres. Because no suspension, brake, or subframe advisories have been recorded, there is no specific component history driving further targeted inspection, though it remains prudent to conduct a general walkaround and test drive for any EV-specific concerns such as warning messages on the instrument cluster, unusual behaviour from the regenerative braking system, or any warning lights relating to the high-voltage battery or drive units. On the move, the EQB should feel quiet and refined with no clonking over speed humps or expansion joints, which would point to worn suspension bushes or top mounts, and the brake pedal should feel firm with no judder under light pedal pressure, though the rear brakes in particular may show minimal wear due to the regenerative system doing most of the deceleration.
