2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · BU65 AFN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 27, 2025, 87,074 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently passes its inspections after immediate rectifications of previous test failures. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related defects, likely involving minor consumable items or minor adjustments that are resolved before the retest, rather than allowing mechanical faults or structural corrosion to accumulate. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. A significant interval of 23,625 miles was covered between May 2023 at 40,520 miles and August 2024 at 64,145 miles, followed by another 22,929 miles in the subsequent year. This steady rate of use indicates the car is used for regular long-distance travel, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, bushings, and exhaust components compared to a vehicle that suffers from degradation due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the air suspension components and braking system, as these are common points of failure on a GL model of this age. While the record shows no recurring mechanical defects, the consecutive failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that minor items such as bulbs, wipers, or slight fluid leaks require frequent attention. Inspect for any leaks in the air struts and check for uneven wear on the brake discs to ensure the recent MOT passes have not masked underlying suspension component wear.
