2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 AMG Line 4MATIC Electric · R44 VEC

The Mercedes-Benz EQC presents a stable roadworthiness profile as of its most recent DVSA test on 30 January 2026 at 47,491 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. This follows an earlier clean pass on 21 December 2024 at 41,596 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across both examinations. An anomalous failure logged on the same date as the pass, 30 January 2026 at identical mileage, carries no recorded defects and points to a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a deterioration in condition. Mileage accumulation sits slightly below the norm for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 41,596 miles at the December 2024 test, rising to 47,491 miles by January 2026, a gain of 5,895 miles over thirteen months equivalent to roughly 5,400 miles per year. Compared with the implied average of 9,498 miles annually since 2021, recent use has been lighter. The MOT history is sparse, comprising only two pass certificates and one anomalous fail, but each entry is free of consumable or structural flags. The absence of any tyre, wiper or emission advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained basic upkeep before each examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean ledger. The EQC’s 2.4-tonne kerb weight places sustained load on suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs, none of which the MOT advisories highlighted but all of which warrant tactile checks for fatigue or corrosion. The tester noted no structural integrity issues, yet underside corrosion and binding calipers can develop on electric vehicles left standing for extended periods. Verify the January 2026 failure with no defects against DVSA paperwork to confirm it was not a concealed mechanical rejection.
