MERCEDES-BENZ GL2010 · 3.0L Diesel

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz GL presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 55,312 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The two failed tests on 12 June 2025 and 7 June 2023 both closed with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 55,312 against an estimated 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,457 miles per year. The vehicle accumulated only 759 miles between the June 2023 and June 2024 tests, then 759 miles again to June 2025, confirming very light use. Such low annual coverage over a long period suggests the GL spent extended intervals stationary, a pattern that often masks degraded rubber components and fluid stagnation not captured by a pass with no advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as prolonged standing promotes perishing in silent components the MOT did not flag. The clean record offers no evidence of corrosion or exhaust emissions failure, yet the twin failure entries on identical mileages demand verification that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA log. Given the sparse but clean history, previous ownership appears to have avoided neglect of consumables, though the zero-advisory pattern across five years is atypical for a 2010 chassis. Prioritise an underbody check for structural integrity and confirm brake disc condition before purchase.
