2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.1L Diesel · YF66 ABZ

The vehicle presents a generally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 August 2025 at 54,157 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in September 2023, the car has undergone two consecutive clean passes, suggesting that any previous issues were addressed and subsequently maintained to a standard. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 33,425 miles and the September 2024 test at 47,902 miles, the vehicle covered 14,477 miles, showing consistent annual use. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on high-stress components like the engine and drivetrain, though such low-use patterns can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and brake hoses if the car has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age rather than mileage alone. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the low annual mileage warrants a close look for sidewall cracking on tyres and brake disc pitting from inactivity. Given the age of the GLE, verifying the integrity of the air suspension system and checking for leaks or perished bushings is essential, as these parts often fail due to time regardless of the distance driven.
