Our Verdict
A strong purchase candidate with a consi
When inspecting this diesel GLE, verify that the service history matches the low mileage recorded. Given the 2.1L diesel engine, check for evidence of regular oil changes to prevent issues common to high-torque diesel units.
Because the 2022 MOT noted worn front and rear brake discs, ask the seller for receipts confirming when the braking system was last overhauled. Ensure the current brake pads and discs have sufficient life remaining, as these are common maintenance items for this model.
As a 2.1L diesel, this GLE is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though its size means higher fuel consumption in urban environments compared to smaller SUVs. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary depending on specific trim and engine output, but buyers should budget for premium parts.
Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate for a luxury SUV, primarily driven by fuel and periodic maintenance of heavy-duty components like tyres and brakes. Expect typical maintenance costs to align with Mercedes-Benz specialist rates.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and tyres. While the most recent MOTs show no defects, the 2022 record specifically highlighted worn brake discs on both axles. Check for any pulsations when braking or unusual noises.
Additionally, keep an eye on the suspension components. Aggregate data for this model indicates that coil springs are a top failure reason, so look for any signs of sagging or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE presents a clean MOT history, having passed its last three tests with no defects recorded. With 55,744 miles on the clock, it has covered significantly less than the model average of 9,110 miles per year. The only recorded advisory in its history related to brake disc wear in 2022, which has since been addressed according to subsequent pass results.
Aggregate data shows a 90% MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues typically involving tyres, brake pads, and coil springs.
