2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 AMG Line Premium + 4M Electric · WR71 TMX

The Mercedes-Benz EQC in question demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with both recent MOT tests—conducted on 2025-11-13 and 2024-11-22—resulting in clean passes at 29,589 and 21,856 miles respectively. No defects or advisories were recorded during either inspection, indicating that the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues requiring attention. The most recent test, just six months ago, confirms the absence of binding brakes, excessive corrosion, or suspension failures, which are common failure points for this model. While the lack of advisories suggests diligent maintenance, the buyer should verify whether any non-MOT-related services—such as battery health, high-voltage system checks, or software updates—have been attended to, as these are not routinely assessed during standard MOT testing. The recorded mileage of 29,589 miles over approximately four years (from the 2021 registration to the latest test) equates to an average of around 5,918 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. The gap between tests—21,856 miles in November 2024 and 29,589 miles in November 2025—indicates consistent, albeit light, usage without any abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage may imply limited exposure to wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, brake pads, or drivetrain fluids, but it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, potentially accelerating degradation of seals, battery health, or tyre condition. The absence of advisories on tyre tread or corrosion suggests these factors have been managed, but a buyer should confirm whether the tyres have been rotated or balanced recently. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on the high-voltage battery system, which is critical for electric vehicles and not routinely covered by standard MOT checks. Look for signs of thermal management issues, such as uneven cooling duct corrosion or degraded insulation around the battery pack. The suspension should be assessed for subtle signs of wear in the coil springs, bushings, or strut mounts, particularly if the vehicle has been stored on uneven surfaces. Brake systems, while not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced sudden stops or aggressive driving. Finally, examine the underbody for corrosion around the subframe, sills, and exhaust system, as electric vehicles often retain moisture longer than conventional cars, accelerating rust development in hidden areas.
