2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · BU65 AFA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 111,849 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. Between the October 2023 test at 91,979 miles and the November 2025 test at 111,849 miles, the car covered 19,870 miles over approximately two years. This averages to roughly 10,000 miles per year, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps preserve rubber components and prevents battery degradation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and weight. There are no recorded failures for common high-mileage issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. While the record shows failures on 13 October 2023 and 7 October 2024, these were resolved on the same day or shortly after without specific defects being listed in the summary, implying minor administrative or quick-fix issues rather than systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the air suspension and braking system. Large SUVs often suffer from leaking air struts or binding calipers that may not trigger an immediate MOT failure but affect long-term reliability. Given the lack of advisories, the focus should remain on checking for structural corrosion on the underside and verifying that the service history aligns with the clean MOT record to ensure oil changes and filter replacements were not neglected.
