MERCEDES-BENZ GLE2018 · 3.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent test in November 2025 at 13,667 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and emissions compliance issues have been addressed. While the 2023 failure highlighted specific faults, the subsequent two clean passes suggest the owner is reactive to MOT testing requirements as they arise. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the March 2022 test at 9,195 miles and the October 2023 test at 11,880 miles, where the car covered only 2,685 miles over nineteen months. This pattern of use suggests long periods of inactivity, which can lead to flat-spotted tyres and degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres specifically, as the September 2024 test flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This uneven wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may have developed during low-mile usage. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding the exhaust lambda reading warrants a check of the diesel emissions system and sensor health to ensure the fix remains robust and does not recur due to short-trip carbon buildup.
