2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 AMG LNE Premium 4MATIC Electric · SOU 54N

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 AMG Line Premium 4MATIC presents a stable but narrowly scoped maintenance picture based on its sole recorded MOT entry. On 23 September 2025 at 12,317 miles, the vehicle passed its test, yet the tester flagged three distinct advisories relating to the rear tyres. Both rear tyres were worn on the inside edge, and the nearside rear tyre additionally sustained a cut that, while not deep enough to expose the ply or cords at the time of inspection, warrants monitoring. No structural, suspension, braking, or powertrain defects were recorded, indicating the core mechanical systems were compliant at that mileage. However, with only one verified test on file, no trend of improvement or deterioration can be established beyond that single snapshot. The recorded mileage of 12,317 miles across approximately four years of ownership equates to roughly 3,079 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age and type. Such limited annual use raises the possibility of extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to flat-spotting of tyres, moisture accumulation in brake components, and fluid degradation from infrequent circulation. The MOT mileage aligns precisely with the current recorded figure, suggesting the vehicle may not have been driven substantially since the September 2025 test. No gaps or anomalies in mileage accumulation are apparent from the sparse record, but the single data point limits meaningful longitudinal analysis. The inside-edge wear pattern on both rear tyres is a recognised indicator of misaligned rear toe or camber geometry, or potentially worn rear suspension bushes or track rod ends. A buyer should have the rear suspension and steering geometry inspected on a four-wheel alignment rig to determine whether the wear stems from incorrect alignment settings, deteriorated bush components, or a combination of both. The cut on the nearside rear tyre, while not constituting a failure at the time of the test, represents a vulnerability that could propagate under load or heat cycling, and replacement of that tyre is advisable before it progresses to cord exposure. Beyond the flagged items, a hands-on inspection should cover the condition of the brake discs and pads, particularly given the low mileage and potential for surface corrosion from standing periods. The exhaust system, underside structural mounting points, and battery enclosure seals should also be examined for corrosion or moisture ingress, as infrequent use in a premium electric vehicle can mask latent environmental damage that a single MOT visit may not fully reveal.
