Mercedes-Benz EQS-Classes licensed in Great Britain at the end of each year
There were not enough MOT tests of Mercedes-Benz EQS-Classes in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.

Mercedes-Benz EQS-Class safety recalls
DVSA lists 16 safety recalls for the Mercedes-Benz EQS-Class since 1992, the first in 2022. The most recent was launched on 26 June 2024.
SRPC2408 - Memory Overflow Battery Management System
Launched 26 June 2024DVSA recall R/2024/257Manufacturer ref. SRPC2408 / 5496226
Defect
On affected vehicles the software of the battery management system might lead to a shutdown of the high voltage system in specific situations resulting in an unannounced loss of propulsion.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Mercedes-Benz EQS-Class. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
