2022 Mercedes-Benz G 4.0L Petrol · AV22 FHH

The most recent MOT, carried out on 15 April 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding test in February 2025 also returned a clean result. This uninterrupted record of passing without advisories indicates a stable maintenance pattern; there are no signs of deteriorating condition or recurring faults, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a road‑worthy state over the past year. At four years old the Mercedes‑Benz G‑Class has logged 43 506 miles, which works out to roughly 10 876 miles per annum. This annual mileage sits comfortably within the normal UK usage envelope for a premium SUV and does not point to excessive wear from high mileage. The figures also imply that the car has not been subjected to prolonged periods of inactivity that could foster corrosion or fluid degradation, although any gaps in recorded mileage should still be investigated for possible long‑term storage. With a clean MOT history and average mileage, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or bulges and verify tread depth; even if the tread is adequate, tyres older than six years may have perished rubber regardless of mileage. Test the 12‑volt battery with a load tester or a multimeter, as standing periods can reduce charge‑holding capacity, and check for any corrosion on the terminals. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear and confirm that the pads engage smoothly without shudder; the calipers should move freely with no signs of sticking or fluid leakage. Review the suspension components—particularly the front and rear bushes, ball joints and coil springs—for any looseness, creaking or uneven ride height, which can develop gradually even on relatively low‑mileage vehicles. Finally, verify that all time‑based fluids have been refreshed in accordance with the manufacturer’s schedule: engine oil and filter, coolant, brake fluid (normally replaced every two years) and the automatic transmission fluid if applicable. Look for any oil, coolant or power‑steering leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle, and ensure the exhaust system is free of rust or cracked hangers. Confirm that the service book contains regular stamps and that any scheduled items such as spark‑plug replacement, timing‑chain tensioner checks or air‑filter changes have been performed. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic will highlight any hidden wear, and budgeting for tyre replacement, battery renewal or brake servicing within the next 12 months would be prudent.
