2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · BU65 AEY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-10-21 assessment at 74,940 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as all tests from 2022 to 2025 passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. A single failed test in November 2022 at 55,500 miles recorded no defects, indicating either a minor procedural error or a temporary anomaly. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent inspections implies no escalating risks to structural integrity, braking systems, or emissions. Mileage progression shows a typical annual average of 6,813 miles over 11 years, aligning with expected usage. However, a significant jump from 55,550 miles in November 2022 to 69,584 miles in October 2023—over 14,000 miles in 11 months—suggests potential heavy usage or irregular servicing. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, though no such issues were flagged in later tests. The clean record since 2023 indicates the vehicle has not exhibited critical deterioration despite this mileage spike. A buyer should inspect the suspension for excessive play or worn bushes, particularly given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for rust, as older vehicles often develop leaks in this area. While no structural corrosion or major defects appear in the MOT history, the 2022 failed test—despite no recorded issues—warrants verification that all systems were fully addressed. Overall, the vehicle’s mechanical state appears sound but requires a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm component integrity.
