2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 300 AMG Line Premium Electric · KM23 USV

A singular March 2026 MOT test forms the entirety of this three-year-old electric vehicle's official history, resulting in a pass that was immediately tempered by advisories noting heavy wear across all four tyres, specifically along their inner and outer edges. This clean initial pass reflects a modern machine yet to suffer the structural degradation or chronic corrosion seen on older vehicles, though the simultaneous notification regarding every corner's tyre condition points to accelerated shoulder wear typical of heavy battery-electric platforms operating with aggressive geometry settings. An odometer reading of 33,389 miles accumulated over three years places this Mercedes-Benz at roughly 11,130 miles annually, aligning closely with typical UK driving patterns for a premium executive saloon. This steady usage rate avoids the mechanical risks associated with prolonged standing periods or severe low-mileage idleness, while ensuring the high-voltage drivetrain, electric motors, and regenerative braking subassemblies have experienced consistent operational cycles since first registration. Inspecting the chassis and running gear requires close attention during a physical viewing, given that the tyre wear noted on the test certificate points to potential geometry misalignment or geometry stress caused by the vehicle's substantial kerb weight. During a test drive, listen carefully for any dull thuds or knocks from the front and rear suspension linkages when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as heavy electric vehicles place immense loads on control arm bushes, ball joints, and air suspension components. The brake system also warrants direct physical scrutiny before purchase. While the regenerative braking system handles the majority of deceleration in everyday driving, friction brakes are prone to surface corrosion or binding calipers if they are not exercised firmly on a regular basis. Check the brake discs for deep scoring or lacklustre contact patterns, and ensure the pedal feel remains firm and progressive without any unexpected travel or judder when coming to a stop from higher speeds.
