2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · A28 OBY

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-02 at 87,996 miles. Previous tests from 2024-12-20 (63,101 miles) and 2023-03-08 (51,103 miles) also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. The vehicle has not incurred any advisories or failures over its last five MOTs, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing and addressed minor wear proactively. The mileage of 87,996 miles aligns closely with the vehicle’s nine-year age, averaging approximately 9,777 miles annually—a standard rate for this model. Testing intervals show regularity, with the longest gap between 2021-06-02 (32,514 miles) and 2023-03-08 (51,103 miles), a 19,000-mile increase over 19 months. This suggests the vehicle was driven moderately during that period, with no evidence of excessive wear in the MOT records. The absence of corrosion, structural issues, or mechanical failures in all tests indicates the car has been maintained to a high standard. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which can degrade over time without visible defects. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these often develop gradually. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion remain critical areas, as hidden rust can compromise structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no red flags, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of these components, especially given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
