2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 220 AMG LN Executve D 4M A 1.9L Diesel · HG73 ADX

Tyre condition dominates the current MOT picture for this 2023 Mercedes‑Benz GLB 220 AMG, with advisories noting slight damage and cracking on both front tyres and a cut on the nearside rear tyre, yet the vehicle cleared the test on 25 September 2026. No mechanical failures were recorded, indicating that the core systems such as brakes, suspension and emissions met the required standards at the time of testing, but the tyre advisories highlight a consumable wear issue that will need attention before the next test. At 42,299 miles the car has logged roughly 14,100 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits above the average for a three‑year‑old premium SUV. This higher annual accumulation accelerates wear on all disposable components, particularly the tyre tread and sidewalls that are already flagged, and can also increase the rate of brake pad and disc thinning, suspension bush wear and fluid degradation. The MOT record shows only the most recent test, so there are no earlier gaps to suggest periods of inactivity; the mileage pattern points to consistent, relatively heavy use. When inspecting the tyres, verify that the tread depth on all four wheels exceeds the legal minimum of 1.6 mm and that the sidewalls are free of bulges, deep cracks or exposed cords. Feel for any vibration or pulsation at highway speeds, which may indicate internal damage despite the cut being classified as non‑critical. Check that the tyre pressure monitoring system is operational and that pressures match the manufacturer’s specification; uneven wear or a pulling tendency on straight‑line driving could signal mis‑alignment or worn suspension components that may emerge as the tyres age further. The rear registration plate is recorded as deteriorated, a cosmetic issue that could become a compliance problem if the characters become unreadable. Ensure the plate is replaced with a correctly mounted, legible unit before the next MOT. Given the vehicle’s mileage and the tyre advisories, a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the brake discs and pads, suspension bushes and steering linkages is prudent; listen for any knocking over bumps, feel for pedal judder under braking and note any steering pull, all of which would indicate wear that may not yet have triggered an MOT failure but could affect safety and future test results.
