Verdict

Buy with care

Grand monospace électrique de 204 ch, 6 places, donné pour 355 km d'autonomie WLTP (autotijd.be). Les retours publiés manquent : seul un rappel de suspension avant (fixation des jambes MacPherson, EQV produits du 21 février 2020 au 31 mars 2021) est documenté, et aucun test Euro NCAP n'a été trouvé. À vérifier par le numéro de série.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Manufacturer recalls

Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:

  • Fixation des jambes de suspension avant : rappel (EQV 300)

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Mercedes-Benz EQV”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire Mercedes, que le rappel de suspension avant a été effectué.
  • Contrôler l'état de santé de la batterie et l'autonomie réelle par rapport aux 355 km annoncés en WLTP.
  • Vérifier la configuration (6 ou 7 places, longueur L2 ou L3) et les portes coulissantes.
  • Tester la tenue de route et chercher bruits ou jeu des trains avant.
  • Exiger le carnet d'entretien du réseau Mercedes.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Le rappel de suspension avant a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
  • Quelle est la date de production du véhicule (le rappel vise le 21 février 2020 au 31 mars 2021) ?
  • Avez-vous un relevé de l'état de santé de la batterie ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
