2022 Mercedes Benz Eqe 350+ Exclusive Luxury

CarHunch analysed 183 real MOT records for the 2022 Mercedes Benz Eqe 350+ Exclusive Luxury. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This EQE 350+ falls short of the UK average pass rate at 75.8% versus 80%, suggesting slightly higher failure rates than typical—though the 2.7% dangerous defect rate is reassuringly low, so this isn't a safety concern. The real issue is consistency: with an average of 0.09 failures and 0.4 advisories per vehicle, these are relatively clean cars, yet one in four still fails their MOT, pointing to teething troubles in the model's early years.

At 27,752 miles median, these vehicles are running low mileage for 2022 cars, which means MOT failures likely reflect manufacturing niggles rather than wear-and-tear, and you should expect these issues to settle as the model matures. Before buying, request the full MOT history and ask the seller specifically about any electrical or sensor work, as electric Mercedes tend to flag non-critical gremlins that don't affect real-world reliability but do cost time at the test station.

What to check before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz Eqe 350+ Exclusive Luxury

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.
