Method for monitoring at least one bearing of a motor vehicle, which has the bearing and at least one electric machine and can be driven by means of the electric machine, with the steps: - supplying the electric machine with alternating electric current, which is provided by power electronics, assigned to the electric machine, of the motor vehicle, whereby the electric machine is operated as an electric motor, by means of which the motor vehicle is driven; - detecting the alternating current provided by the power electronics by means of at least one alternating current sensor; - determining at least one torque, which is provided by the electric motor for driving the motor vehicle, as a function of the detected alternating current, wherein eddy current losses and/or air friction losses occurring during the driving are determined, wherein the bearing is monitored as a function of the determined eddy current losses and/or air friction losses, wherein the torque is determined as a function of the determined eddy current losses and/or air friction losses; and - monitoring the bearing as a function of the determined torque, wherein the bearing is always monitored when the motor vehicle is driven by the electric motor, wherein a change in the torque is determined or identified, wherein the change in the torque is used to infer increasing wear of the bearing, wherein at least one inclination of the motor vehicle about its transverse vehicle direction is determined by means of at least one sensor of the motor vehicle, wherein the bearing is monitored as a function of the determined inclination, wherein, taking into account the inclination of the motor vehicle, it can be identified whether a difference between values of the torque is due only a gradient or to the gradient and the increase in wear of the bearing. - supplying the electric machine with alternating electric current, which is provided by power electronics, assigned to the electric machine, of the motor vehicle, whereby the electric machine is operated as an electric motor, by means of which the motor vehicle is driven; - detecting the alternating current provided by the power electronics by means of at least one alternating current sensor; - determining at least one torque, which is provided by the electric motor for driving the motor vehicle, as a function of the detected alternating current, wherein eddy current losses and/or air friction losses occurring during the driving are determined, wherein the bearing is monitored as a function of the determined eddy current losses and/or air friction losses, wherein the torque is determined as a function of the determined eddy current losses and/or air friction losses; and - monitoring the bearing as a function of the determined torque, wherein the bearing is always monitored when the motor vehicle is driven by the electric motor, wherein a change in the torque is determined or identified, wherein the change in the torque is used to infer increasing wear of the bearing, wherein at least one inclination of the motor vehicle about its transverse vehicle direction is determined by means of at least one sensor of the motor vehicle, wherein the bearing is monitored as a function of the determined inclination, wherein, taking into account the inclination of the motor vehicle, it can be identified whether a difference between values of the torque is due only a gradient or to the gradient and the increase in wear of the bearing.
