2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 5.5L Petrol · 68 CLT

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 6 August 2025 at 44,562 miles, indicating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the most recent test suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been rectified. This clean pass follows a period of inconsistent tyre maintenance, marking a clear improvement in the vehicle's roadworthiness status compared to the previous two years. The recorded mileage of 44,562 miles over an eight-year period equates to approximately 5,570 miles annually, which is notably low for a Mercedes-Benz GLE. The data shows a consistent, moderate usage pattern with no significant gaps or periods of inactivity that would typically suggest long-term storage issues. The progression of mileage is linear, moving from 15,315 miles in August 2022 to the current reading, confirming that the vehicle has been in regular, light use rather than sitting stagnant for extended durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering geometry, given the recurring tyre wear issues flagged in 2024. The failure for a structural tyre bulge and multiple advisories for edge wear on three separate tyres points to potential alignment or tracking issues that may have caused premature scrubbing. While the current tyres passed, verify the brand and tread depth across all four corners to ensure they match the vehicle's performance requirements. Inspect the front brake discs and pads closely, as the 2022 test noted pads wearing thin at 15,315 miles. Although these were likely replaced, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on discs if the vehicle is parked in damp conditions for long periods. Check for any scoring or lip formation on the friction surfaces during your test drive to confirm that the braking system remains responsive and free of binding.
