2023 Mercedes-Benz EQA 350 AMG Line Premium + 4M Electric · OW23 KWF

With only a single MOT pass on file dated 26 May 2026 and no advisories or defects recorded, the roadworthiness history for this 2023 EQA 350 is sparse but entirely clean. As a vehicle only just entering its third MOT cycle, this is the first statutory inspection point at which any meaningful wear data would typically emerge, so the absence of flagged items at this stage establishes a baseline of compliance rather than a long-term track record. The clean pass does, however, confirm that braking efficiency, emissions output, lighting, tyres, suspension components, and structural integrity all met the minimum DVSA standards at the time of test. Given that this is the first test entry on record, any chronic or developing issues cannot yet be identified from MOT data alone, and the assessment of longer-term condition will depend heavily on physical inspection and service documentation. Recorded mileage of 29,149 miles over an approximate three-year period equates to an annual accumulation of around 9,716 miles, which is broadly consistent with typical mixed private and commuter use. There are no significant gaps in the mileage record that would suggest extended periods off the road, nor are there any sudden jumps that would indicate inconsistent odometer readings. For an electric vehicle of this class, this mileage profile is moderate and unlikely to have placed excessive demand on the drivetrain, though brake discs and pads may still exhibit corrosion from frequent low-speed or low-regeneration use, a common pattern in EVs that rely heavily on motor braking. Tyre wear should be expected to track closely with this mileage level on all four corners, given the vehicle's weight and four-wheel-drive configuration. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the items that the MOT does not yet capture in detail for this vehicle. Because no advisories exist, there is no specific component history to interrogate, so attention should turn to early indicators of wear typical of a three-year-old EV running on original-equipment consumables. On a test drive, listen for any knocks or clonks from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower wishbones and anti-roll bar bushes, which carry significant load on the 4MATIC drivetrain. Steering should feel precise and free of vibration or pulling, and any judder under light braking may indicate corroded brake discs, which is a frequent issue on EVs that have seen predominantly urban or low-speed driving. The braking system warrants particular scrutiny given the regenerative braking characteristics of this model. Inspect the brake discs directly for signs of surface corrosion, lipping, or scoring, and check that the calipers are releasing freely without binding, as seized calipers are a known issue on lightly used EVs. Tyres should be examined for even shoulder wear across both axles, and the sidewalls checked for any cracking or bulging consistent with age. Under the bonnet, look for any signs of coolant leakage from the thermal management hoses and connections, and verify that the 12V auxiliary battery has been replaced or tested, as premature failure of the low-voltage battery is a frequent cause of non-start issues on EQ-platform vehicles of this age. Finally, confirm the high-voltage battery state of health through the dealership or a specialist diagnostic, as this remains the single most critical mechanical and financial consideration for any used electric Mercedes.
