2014 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · K60 BEJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record in its most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 79,874 miles. This follows a period of minor issues that appear to have been resolved. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently in a good state of repair regarding its immediate compliance requirements. The mileage pattern shows a consistent usage profile for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. A significant mileage jump occurred between October 2020 and October 2021, where the odometer increased from 97,004 to 102,820 miles. Since that period, the vehicle has seen much lower annual usage, dropping to the current 79,874 miles. This indicates a shift from higher usage to a much lighter driving pattern over the last few years. The history reveals a recurring trend of tyre maintenance issues. In October 2021, the vehicle failed due to multiple tyres being below the legal tread depth or worn on the edges. This pattern repeated in October 2024, where both front tyres were flagged as being close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. These findings suggest the previous owner occasionally neglected basic consumable upkeep. The October 2024 test also noted an Engine Management Light (EML) was on, which required attention to ensure sensor or emissions integrity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The October 2023 test noted the brake pedal was wearing smooth, which can indicate wear on the pedal pad or potential issues with pedal feel. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, wheel alignment, and shock absorbers is necessary to rule out underlying geometry issues. Checking the service history for any recorded work related to the EML noted in 2024 is also advisable.
