2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · 450 GH

This 11-year-old GLE is averaging around 4,200 miles per year, which is low. That sounds gentle, but low mileage on a premium SUV can also mean lots of short journeys or periods of standing still, both of which cause their own problems. The MOT history shows a clear recurring pattern: brake disc wear and front tyre wear. Back in 2022 and 2023, the front discs were noted as worn. By 2024, all four discs had advisories for being worn, and now in the most recent test, the front tyres are down to the legal limit again. This tells you the car is used for the type of driving that eats discs and tyres—likely urban stop-start or heavy, frequent braking. The good news is there are no structural, suspension, or engine-related failures in the history. The condition trend is stable rather than worsening. The advisories keep coming back for the same consumables, which is routine wear, not a sign of a deeper mechanical fault. However, it does suggest the previous owner ran components to the borderline before replacing them, rather than staying ahead of maintenance.
