2022 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 AMG Line Premium + 4M Electric · K1 YTY

The most recent MOT test on March 5, 2026, confirms this Mercedes-Benz EQC remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 36,213 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—all passing without issue—indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the sparse record does not reveal deeper mechanical history beyond MOT thresholds. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks in 2026 suggests no immediate concerns with battery health, electrical systems, or chassis integrity, though these areas require independent verification. The mileage progression shows a consistent but modest annual average of around 9,000 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the February 2025 and March 2025 tests—just 814 miles in six weeks—implies either a short-term layoff or seasonal variation. No excessive mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, though the lack of pre-MOT services or service records means wear on non-MOT items (e.g., suspension bushes, brake pads, or fluid levels) cannot be confirmed. The most recent test’s proximity to today (just four months old) is advantageous, but the preceding tests’ proximity to each other (less than a year apart) may reflect opportunistic rather than scheduled maintenance. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not covered by the test. The suspension—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as electric vehicles often experience subtle suspension degradation from weight distribution. Brake systems, while not flagged, warrant scrutiny for binding calipers or uneven disc thickness, especially if the vehicle has been used aggressively. The high-voltage battery and cooling system, though MOT-passed, require professional assessment for degradation signs, such as fluid leaks or swollen modules. Finally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as electric vehicles with higher ground clearance can accumulate moisture and debris. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
