2023 Mercedes Benz Eqe 300 Amg Line

CarHunch analysed 260 real MOT records for the 2023 Mercedes Benz Eqe 300 Amg Line. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 300 AMG Line is struggling badly at MOT, with only 41.2% passing first time against the UK average of 80%—that's a serious red flag for a car this new and relatively low-mileage. The dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 0.8%, so safety isn't the primary concern, but something structural or electrical is clearly going wrong early in these cars' lives.

At 37,995 miles average for a 2023 model, mileage is reasonable for age, yet owners are still hitting problems at an unusually high rate. The low failure count (0.04 per vehicle) masks the real issue: nearly every car that fails has multiple advisory-level defects (0.4 per vehicle on average), suggesting wear or design flaws in non-critical systems. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically targets the EQE's known weak points—consult Mercedes forums and recent service history for electrical or suspension issues.

What to check before buying a 2023 Mercedes Benz Eqe 300 Amg Line

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
