2010 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · AJ60 DGO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-03 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across the past five consecutive tests. This consistent pass history—spanning from 2022-06-15 to 2025-07-03—indicates a stable maintenance pattern without recurring advisories or failures. While the absence of defects suggests the vehicle has not experienced major mechanical or structural issues during these intervals, the next test is due shortly after the current date, meaning the vehicle has already exceeded the three-year MOT cycle by approximately one month. This minor overdue status should prompt an immediate MOT appointment to avoid further delays. The recorded mileage of 168,476 miles over approximately 16 years aligns with typical usage for this vehicle’s age, averaging around 10,530 miles annually. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in mileage between tests, which would otherwise raise concerns about neglect or excessive wear. For example, the mileage increased steadily from 158,000 miles in 2022 to 168,476 miles in 2026, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year—a rate that, while not excessive, suggests consistent use without prolonged periods of inactivity that could accelerate corrosion or component degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT but are critical for long-term reliability. The suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, warrants close examination given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these are prone to fatigue and deterioration over time. Brake components—including rear calipers, pads, and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as older Mercedes-Benz models can develop brake drag issues. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, where rust can compromise structural integrity. Finally, fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be verified, as leaks or contamination are often silent until they escalate.
