2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ AMG Line Edition Electric · WN74 YCS

A prospective buyer evaluating this 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ AMG Line Edition should note that the vehicle currently has no recorded DVSA MOT test history. This is entirely consistent with a vehicle of its age, as any car registered from 2024 onwards will not require its first MOT test until it reaches three years of age, meaning the first test will not be due until 2027. While the absence of MOT data prevents any trend analysis of pass or fail patterns or recurring advisories, it does mean that the vehicle is too newly registered to have been subjected to statutory roadworthiness testing. As an EV from a premium manufacturer, this model remains within its initial manufacturer warranty period and should have been subjected to Mercedes-Benz dealer inspections according to the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Regarding mileage, the official records indicate that there is not enough data to compare mileage with age. Given that the vehicle is only two years old, this may simply reflect that mileage data has not yet been uploaded or verified against current readings, or that the vehicle has been driven moderately. Electric vehicles such as the EQE typically accumulate mileage differently from internal combustion vehicles, and average annual mileage for a premium executive saloon often falls between 10,000 and 15,000 miles. Buyers should request current odometer verification at the point of sale and examine the service history to confirm usage patterns. Low or moderate mileage is generally favourable for an EV as it limits wear on items such as tyres, suspension components, and brake discs, although very low usage can still present concerns around battery conditioning and component degradation through standing. Given the absence of MOT advisories or failure points, the buyer inspection must focus on condition assessment based on age and usage rather than historical defect patterns. On a physical inspection, particular attention should be paid to the tyres, including tread wear across the full tread surface and the sidewalls, looking for any signs of perishing, cracking, or age-related degradation given that low-mileage use accelerates sidewall dry-rot due to prolonged standing. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion, as EVs use regenerative braking which means the friction brakes are used infrequently, leading to rust build-up that can cause brake shudder or binding calipers upon initial application. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems in EVs, should be health-checked as these can degrade prematurely in vehicles used for short journeys or left standing. Additionally, the high-voltage traction battery state of health should be verified through a diagnostic readout, and the charging port and cable inspected for damage. A comprehensive test drive should evaluate the vehicle's dynamic behaviour carefully, listening for any suspension knocks, thuds, or creaks from components such as coil springs, bushes, and anti-roll bar links over uneven surfaces, as these parts can still deteriorate even on a relatively new vehicle. Brake function should be tested from cold to identify any initial judder or uneven pull indicative of corroded discs or seized caliper mechanisms. Steering response should be precise and free from vibration, and any warning lights on the instrument cluster regarding the drivetrain, battery management system, or driver assistance systems should be investigated thoroughly using Mercedes-Benz diagnostic equipment. Finally, prospective buyers should ensure all fluid services, including brake fluid replacement and cabin filter changes, have been carried out at the correct calendar intervals regardless of mileage, as these degrade over time, and verify that the digital service history is complete and authentic through an official Mercedes-Benz dealer check.
