2014 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 3.0L Diesel · 48 RAD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The December 2025 test at 71,235 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections throughout 2024 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of repair. A single failure recorded in November 2023 at 63,073 miles appears to have been a minor or administrative issue, as the vehicle passed immediately upon retest without any noted mechanical defects. The recorded mileage of 71,235 over a twelve-year period averages approximately 5,936 miles per year. This represents significantly lower usage than the UK average, which typically suggests less wear on high-stress mechanical components. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with 10,703 miles covered between the November 2022 test and the December 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is driven regularly enough to prevent the common issues associated with long periods of stationary storage, such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals. Given the clean MOT history, there are no specific recurring faults in the official record to highlight. However, because the vehicle has clearly spent much of its life doing low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-related failure. I recommend checking the condition of all rubber components, including suspension bushes, engine mounts, and various coolant hoses, which can perish even when not in use. The buyer should also pay close attention to the chassis and structural integrity for any signs of corrosion, which can often be hidden on low-mileage vehicles that have sat in damp environments. While the MOT record shows no issues with the braking system or exhaust emissions, a manual check of the brake discs for pitting and the underside for surface rust is prudent. The low mileage is an advantage, but it necessitates a closer look at any preventative maintenance that may have been deferred due to infrequent use.
