2022 Mercedes Benz Eqs 450+ Exclusive Luxury
CarHunch analysed 316 real MOT records for the 2022 Mercedes Benz Eqs 450+ Exclusive Luxury. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ Exclusive Luxury passes its first MOT just 73.9% of the time, 6.1 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, which is a meaningful gap for a premium electric saloon barely two years old. Dangerous defects have appeared in 13% of the fleet tested, a moderate concern that sits within acceptable range but worth noting for a car at this price point.
These vehicles average around 28,000 miles—reasonable for their age—and typically rack up just 0.16 failures per car but 0.7 advisories, suggesting minor wear rather than serious mechanical trouble. Before purchasing a used example, always request the full MOT history to check whether it's among the 26% that failed first time, and have an independent EV-specialist inspection done, since electric drivetrains and battery systems sit outside typical mechanic expertise.
What to check before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz Eqs 450+ 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.
