2020 Mercedes-Benz G 2.9L Diesel · KS20 AAO

The Mercedes-Benz G remains roadworthy per the latest MOT pass on 15 May 2025 at 73,382 miles, with the tester recording no defects. Maintenance trend is stable across the supplied history. The vehicle cleared the 23 May 2024 test at 57,227 miles and the 26 July 2023 test at 50,300 miles without fault. On that same July date the tester first logged a failure at identical mileage with no defects cited; a pass followed the same day, indicating an immediate administrative or minor rectification rather than a mechanical defect trend. Mileage sits high for a six-year-old 2020 model, averaging 12,230 miles per year against the recorded 73,382. The odometer moved from 50,300 at the July 2023 inspection to 57,227 by May 2024, a restrained 6,927 miles over ten months. The final stretch to 73,382 by May 2025 added 16,155 miles in twelve months, showing accelerated use in the last recorded year. DVSA data is thin, offering only three unique test events and a duplicated 2023 entry, which limits insight into intermediate wear patterns. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the records, so the buyer should target routine high-mileage components in a physical check. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or wear, as the G-class hefty mass stresses these items. Inspect brake discs for scoring and verify tyre tread depth beyond the test date, since consumable condition can degrade post-May 2025. The clean emissions and structural results warrant confirmation of underbody corrosion and chassis integrity given the vehicle's age. The same-day fail-pass anomaly urges scrutiny of the V5C and MOT certificate to confirm no suppressed defects. Previous keepers appear to have sustained the vehicle to pass standard, but the recent mileage surge demands a fresh inspection of drivetrain seals and exhaust mounts. A pre-purchase mechanical assessment remains prudent despite the unblemished electronic trail.
