2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · 54 SC

The 2025‑08‑11 MOT at 81,201 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness, though the tester flagged near‑side front and off‑side front tyre cuts and noted an inability to inspect lower ball joints because of fitted plastic trims. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, with only minor tyre wear and suspension inspection constraints appearing in the latest test. Mileage has risen from 27,294 miles in September 2018 to 81,201 miles in August 2025, averaging roughly 7,400 miles per year, with increments of 6,000‑10,000 miles each year and no evident periods of stagnation. The 2020‑09‑16 test at 44,268 miles followed a 2019‑08‑28 reading of 34,228 miles, showing a 10,040‑mile jump that suggests a year of heavier use. Recurring concerns centre on suspension components and braking performance: the 2022‑08‑30 failure recorded rear brake pads below 1.5 mm, and earlier entries repeatedly noted inability to assess lower ball joints, indicating potential wear in suspension bushes and joints. The 2021‑09‑01 test highlighted tyres worn close to the legal limit and a near‑side front cut, reinforcing the need for close inspection of tyre condition and suspension integrity. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the rear brake discs and pads, verify the integrity of the lower ball joints and suspension bushes, inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for the reported cuts, and look for any signs of structural rust or corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches.
