2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.1L Diesel · S22 CON

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend following a minor mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 74,879 miles resulted in a pass with only an advisory for a deteriorating front registration plate. This follows a two-year period of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have maintained their integrity over the last several cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 26,492 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive wear. This regular use suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, suspension components, and battery health compared to issues often found in low-mileage stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and wheels, as the 2022 failure highlighted structural damage to both the nearside front and offside rear tyres involving exposed ply and cords. While these appear to have been replaced given the subsequent passes, the current tyres should be checked for uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues. Given the age of the Mercedes GLE, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and brake discs is also advisable, as the MOT does not fully test for the degradation of these components until they reach a point of failure.
