2022 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 AMG Line Premium 4M Electricity · GY22 GYK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in May 2025, indicating a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of advisories or failures across the recent testing history suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical safety components, including lighting, braking systems, and steering geometry, have been within acceptable tolerances. The recorded mileage of 40,139 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of roughly 10,035 miles. This represents typical, moderate usage for a premium electric vehicle of this age. This level of mileage is neither excessively high nor low enough to suggest long periods of inactivity, which is beneficial for the mechanical health of the vehicle. This regular driving cycle helps mitigate common issues such as brake seizure or battery degradation that can occur when vehicles are left standing for extended periods. As the MOT record is entirely clean, your inspection should focus on age-related wear and preventative maintenance rather than documented faults. You should carefully inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber compounds can degrade over time regardless of tread depth. Check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate subtle suspension bush wear or alignment issues. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension, such as knocks or clunks over bumps, and monitor for any brake shudder or pulling to one side, which could indicate binding calipers or uneven disc corrosion. Furthermore, pay close attention to the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can fail even when the main high-voltage battery remains healthy. Verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid changes and cabin filter replacements, has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Inspect the underbody for any signs of fluid leaks or corrosion and confirm that the charging port and cables show no signs of physical damage or electrical arcing.
