AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 passed its most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 13,697 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stable condition, as the single official test entry reveals a clean roadworthiness result and no advisories or failures across the vehicle's early life. Recorded mileage stands at 13,697 miles against a roughly three-year age, equating to about 4,566 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests light use or extended standing periods rather than high-load driving. The DVSA history contains only the one test entry, so no rapid accumulation or gap between tests can be evidenced beyond the absence of earlier records. With no faults, advisories, or corrosion flagged in the January 2026 examination, the buyer faces no data-driven warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, or structural integrity. The clean sheet implies previous upkeep met statutory standards at that point. Given the sparse record and low mileage, a physical inspection should still confirm tyre sidewall condition after possible standing, check for fluid leaks around the electric drivetrain, and verify brake disc surface through light use. The tester recorded nothing requiring action, but a single test offers limited longitudinal insight into wear patterns.

Our Verdict

A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a premium electric SUV. This specific silver EQC 400 is in excellent condition with a clean history and low mileage for its age.

Given the low mileage and the 'Premium Plus' specification, this vehicle should ideally come with a full Mercedes-Benz digital service record. Ensure that the battery health report is available and that the onboard charger and charging cables are present and functioning correctly.

Negotiate based on the remaining manufacturer warranty, as a 2023 model should still have significant coverage. Check for any signs of curb damage to the AMG-line alloys, which are common on these larger electric SUVs, and verify that all software updates have been applied to the MBUX infotainment system.

As a fully electric vehicle, this EQC 400 avoids road tax (VED) under current zero-emission rules, significantly lowering annual overheads compared to an internal combustion E-Class. Insurance will be in a higher group due to the vehicle's value and performance, so obtain a quote before committing.

Maintenance costs are generally lower for EVs due to fewer moving parts, though the premium tyres required for the AMG Line trim can be expensive to replace. Expect annual costs to be driven primarily by insurance and electricity tariffs.

While the January 2026 MOT was a clean pass with no defects, you should still perform a physical inspection of the silver paintwork for any stone chips or parking scuffs. Check the condition of the interior leather and the high-resolution screens for any dead pixels or glitches.

Focus your inspection on the tyre tread depths; even with low mileage, some EQC models can show uneven wear if not aligned correctly. Ensure the charging port door operates smoothly and that there is no debris preventing a secure connection to a home or public charger.

This 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 AMG Line Premium + 4M presents as a well-maintained example of a luxury EV. With only 13,697 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in January 2026, the vehicle has been used sparingly over its first three years. The absence of any defects in its MOT history suggests a car that has been kept to a high standard.

Aggregate data for this specific variant is limited, but the EQC is generally regarded as a stable, comfort-oriented electric vehicle with high build quality.
