2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · BU65 AFJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-23 at 114,985 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, though a duplicate FAILED entry for the same date and mileage appears in the record. This inconsistency may indicate a data entry error, but the PASS outcome suggests the car met roadworthiness standards at that time. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns are documented in the history, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the last three tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the duplicate failure entry warrants further verification. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,453 miles annually. Tests at 82,298, 99,976, and 114,985 miles show consistent intervals of ~15,000–17,000 miles between assessments, reflecting regular servicing. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting steady, predictable usage. The clean record of no defects in the last three tests, despite the conflicting 2025-10-23 entry, supports the conclusion of reliable upkeep. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The absence of brake-related issues in the record is positive, but a physical inspection of calipers, discs, and brake lines is advisable. Structural integrity and corrosion checks, especially around the chassis and body seams, should also be prioritized, as these can develop gradually without triggering MOT failures. The MOT history does not flag these areas, but their condition remains critical for long-term reliability.
