2021 Mercedes Benz Eqv 300 Sport Premium

CarHunch analysed 422 real MOT records for the 2021 Mercedes Benz Eqv 300 Sport Premium. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQV 300 Sport Premium passes its MOT on first attempt 81.2% of the time, marginally ahead of the UK average of 80%, which suggests solid baseline reliability. However, 13.5% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth noting if you're buying used—it's not alarming, but worth a pre-purchase inspection.

At just over 37,000 miles median mileage for vehicles of this age, these are relatively lightly-used examples, and the 0.36 average failures per vehicle reflects that gentle running-in period. The 1.4 advisories per car suggest minor wear is beginning to show, so budget for some consumables; before purchasing, request the full MOT history to check whether previous advisories have been addressed or are recurring.

What to check before buying a 2021 Mercedes Benz Eqv 300 Sport Premium

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.
