2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 AMG Line 4MATIC Electric · GV22 WEW

The most recent official DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 AMG Line 4MATIC was conducted on 21 July 2025, at which point the vehicle passed with no defects, advisories, or failure points recorded against it. With only a single MOT entry available against a four-year-old vehicle, the documented maintenance trend appears stable and trouble-free at the time of testing, though the absence of any recorded advisories also means there is no granular data regarding borderline wear items such as tyres, brake condition, or suspension components. Given the relatively young age of the vehicle and its single clean test outcome, there are no recurring defect patterns, component failures, or advisory trends to raise immediate concern, and any mechanical deterioration since July 2025 would not be reflected in the official record. Prospective buyers should still treat the clean pass as a snapshot rather than a guarantee of current condition, particularly as nine months have elapsed since the test and the vehicle has presumably remained in service. With approximately 29,503 miles recorded over four years, this EQB is achieving a fairly typical annual mileage of around 7,376 miles per year, suggesting it has seen regular but not exhaustive use. This rate of accumulation is consistent with a privately owned or light-duty fleet vehicle that has been driven consistently rather than left standing for prolonged periods, which is generally beneficial for an electric powertrain as it helps maintain battery conditioning and prevents issues associated with calendar-based degradation of lubricants, brakes, and tyres. There are no significant gaps in recorded mileage that would imply extended periods of inactivity, nor is there evidence of unusually rapid accumulation that might indicate heavy commercial or long-distance motorway use. The mileage profile therefore supports a vehicle that has been driven sympathetically, reducing the likelihood of premature wear on suspension, braking, or drivetrain components. Although the MOT record is clean and free of advisories, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection appropriate to a four-year-old electric vehicle with this mileage profile. First, the high-voltage battery system warrants particular attention: verify that the state of health is documented, check for any diagnostic trouble codes related to the traction battery or charging system, and confirm that the vehicle charges normally on both AC and DC sources. The 12V auxiliary battery, which controls essential systems on an electric vehicle, should be tested for residual capacity as these can fail without warning after a few years regardless of mileage. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking or perishing caused by age rather than wear, and even if tread depth appears adequate, replacement may be necessary if the rubber has hardened due to UV exposure. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion and binding, as regenerative braking on electric vehicles means the friction brakes are used infrequently and are prone to surface rust and seized caliper slides, which can manifest as uneven braking feel or juddering underfoot during a test drive. During a test drive, pay close attention to any unusual noises from the suspension over uneven road surfaces, as components such as coil springs, anti-roll bar links, and suspension bushes can deteriorate with age even on low-mileage vehicles. Listen for clonking or knocking from the front or rear axles, particularly when traversing speed bumps or potholes, and check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The steering should feel precise and free of vibration, while the regenerative braking system should provide consistent deceleration without abrupt cut-off points. Inside the cabin, verify the operation of the infotainment system, climate control, and driver assistance features, and confirm that the software is up to date through the Mercedes-Benz connected services. Finally, review the service book or digital service history to ensure that scheduled maintenance, including brake fluid replacement, coolant renewal for the thermal management system, and cabin filter changes, has been carried out at the correct intervals, as time-based servicing remains critical even on electric vehicles with modest annual mileage.
