2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 AMG LNE Premium 4MATIC Electric · KS71 YUT

The latest MOT, carried out on 19 December 2025, failed the vehicle because the front lower anti‑roll bar ball joints were excessively worn and the near‑legal tyre tread depth was flagged. This contrasts with the previous test, which passed without defects, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Mileage rose from 15,787 miles at the 23 December 2024 test to 24,841 miles at the 19 December 2025 test, an increase of 9,054 miles in 12 months. At roughly 9,000 miles per year the car has accumulated mileage faster than the typical 6,200 miles for a four‑year‑old model, suggesting heavier use or less regular servicing. No gaps in the MOT record are evident, but the rapid mileage gain may explain the recent suspension wear. A prospective buyer should examine the front lower anti‑roll bar ball joints for cracking or excessive play, as the 2025 failure indicates significant wear. Verify the tyre tread depth against the legal minimum; the near‑legal condition noted in the record suggests replacement is imminent. Inspect the suspension bushings, steering linkages, and wheel bearings for wear or corrosion, and check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing. A thorough visual and tactile inspection of the chassis for rust or structural damage is also advisable. Given the recent failure and the higher‑than‑average mileage, the vehicle’s maintenance history shows a deteriorating trend. While the 2024 test was clean, the 2025 failure points to ongoing wear in critical suspension components, and a careful assessment of these areas will determine whether the car remains safe and reliable for continued use.
