Used starter motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the EQB is a fully electric vehicle and has no internal combustion engine, so it does not have a starter motor at all. Electric motors do not require a starter to fire up, so this part simply does not exist on any variant of the EQB. If your EQB is failing to start or is not powering up, the fault is likely related to the high-voltage battery, 12V auxiliary battery, or the vehicle's power electronics — a Mercedes specialist or main dealer would be the right first step.
You are not in the wrong place, but you are looking for a part that does not exist on this model — the EQB is fully electric and has no combustion engine to start, so no starter motor was ever fitted to any version of it. The part you may actually need could be the 12V auxiliary battery (which powers ancillary systems and is a common fault on EVs), a high-voltage battery component, or an electric drive unit part. Describing your exact symptom to a breaker or EV specialist will help point you toward the correct component.
None of these variants have a starter motor — the 250, 300, and 350 badges on the EQB denote different electric motor outputs, not combustion engines, so the question of starter motor interchange between them does not apply. All EQB variants launched in the UK run on fully electric drivetrains with no combustion start-up system whatsoever. If you are comparing parts between these variants for another reason, speak directly to a breaker with your registration to confirm what components are shared.
A failed starter motor cannot be the cause, because the EQB does not have one — it is a battery-electric vehicle with no combustion engine. Common reasons an EQB may fail to power on include a depleted or faulty 12V auxiliary battery, a high-voltage battery fault, a charging system issue, or an immobiliser or key fob problem. We would recommend having the vehicle plugged into a Mercedes diagnostic tool or contacting a roadside assistance service familiar with EVs rather than searching for mechanical starter components.
For a no-power or no-crank symptom on an EQB, the most likely candidates sourced from a breaker would be the 12V auxiliary battery, the DC-DC converter (which charges the 12V system from the main battery), or potentially the high-voltage battery pack itself, though the latter is complex to source and fit second-hand. Breakers who specialise in EV dismantling are your best route, as they will be familiar with the EQB's electric drivetrain and can match parts to your specific variant and build date. Always confirm your registration and VIN with the breaker, as electronics on EVs can be paired to the vehicle and may require coding.
