MERCEDES-BENZ G-CLASS2012 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent inspection on 15 January 2026 at 48,090 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a narrow failure just three days prior at the same mileage. This recent failure suggests a minor item-related defect that was immediately rectified by the owner, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining the vehicle's legal road status. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,435 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 36,019 miles and December 2024 at 46,393 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,400 miles over twenty-six months. This low usage suggests the car has likely been stored or used sparingly for long periods. While this reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of dry rot in rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues from lack of regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or perished, as these degrade when a vehicle sits stationary. The brake discs and calipers may show pitting or binding due to infrequent use which prevents surface rust. Given the age of the G-Class, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity and corrosion is essential, although the MOT record has not flagged any structural failures to date.
