MERCEDES-BENZ GLE2017 · 5.5L PETROL

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 2026-06-01 resulted in a clean pass at 33,890 miles, though two front tyres were flagged as wearing close to the legal limit and edge-rolled across all four wheels. This condition suggests the previous owner neglected regular rotation and alignment checks, which can lead to uneven tread wear and reduced handling stability. The simultaneous discovery of a rear nail in the tyre indicates a lack of routine visual inspections for embedded debris. The vehicle's low annual mileage of approximately 3,766 miles over nine years raises concerns. Such minimal use, combined with the absence of defects for over a year until this test, suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods, potentially leading to issues with static components like brake calipers seizing, suspension bush deterioration, and battery degradation. The lack of recurring defects during the 2023-2025 period indicates the vehicle was likely driven infrequently but maintained adequately during active ownership. A buyer should arrange a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection to verify the brake system's condition, particularly the rear brakes, which were reported as wearing thin in 2023. The tyre assembly warrants close scrutiny for alignment, tyre pressure monitoring system functionality, and overall structural integrity. Additionally, the vehicle's static storage history should be verified with the seller to ensure no latent corrosion or fluid leaks have developed.
