2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.1L Diesel · D28 ABR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 at 78,024 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable over the past four years, as all subsequent tests from 2022 to 2026 have passed without recorded issues. The sole failed test in 2022-11-25 at 66,015 miles was noted as having no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrelated technical anomaly. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are evident in the history. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,802 miles annually. A notable gap between the 2022-11-26 test (66,069 miles) and 2025-03-13 (67,632 miles) reflects minimal usage over two years, while the subsequent 10,392-mile increase in 13 months indicates heightened activity. This pattern may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in the tests. The clean record suggests consistent adherence to maintenance standards. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the 2022-11-25 failure, and inspect for corrosion in high-risk areas such as underbody panels. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough check of brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or fatigue in load-bearing elements could emerge despite the MOT history showing no overt issues.
