2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.1L Diesel · YO66 AAF

A recurring pattern of uneven rear tyre wear defines the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, despite a generally stable record of passes. This trend is evident across multiple years, with inner edge wear flagged in 2021, 2022, and again in 2025. The latest inspection on 17 June 2026 resulted in a pass, following a minor failure for insufficient windscreen washer liquid, suggesting the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards. The recorded mileage of 98,006 miles over approximately nine years indicates an average annual accumulation of roughly 10,890 miles. This usage profile is typical for a vehicle of this age and class, meaning the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to standard wear and tear. At this mileage, components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, and various rubber seals are typically reaching a stage where wear becomes more apparent. Given the repeated advisories regarding inner edge wear on the rear tyres, particular attention must be paid to the rear axle alignment and the condition of the suspension linkages. This specific wear pattern often points to incorrect camber or toe settings, or the degradation of suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any instability in the rear end or a tendency for the vehicle to wander, and a physical inspection of the current tyre treads should be conducted to ensure the issue has been rectified. Beyond the tyre issues, the buyer should listen for any knocks or clunks coming from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushings consistent with the mileage. While the recent MOT records are relatively clean regarding structural integrity and braking efficiency, the consistent tyre wear suggests a need to verify that the rear geometry is correctly set to prevent premature replacement of tyres.
