2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 5.5L Petrol · DF17 LHG

High Risk of Mechanical Failure and Safety Hazard 1. Most Recent MOT Outcome The most recent MOT (2025-12-16) failed for the engine, indicating a severe mechanical malfunction. The windscreen tint is acceptable, but the engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) suggests the engine is not running properly. This is a critical finding requiring immediate attention. Recurring Mechanical Pattern The vehicle exhibits a consistent pattern of engine and mechanical issues. The engine failure has not been isolated to a single event but has persisted through multiple checks. This suggests the problem is likely systemic or related to an underlying component rather than a simple wear-and-tear issue. Trend Analysis The trend of the vehicle's condition appears to be worsening . The engine failure is a recurring issue, and the failure to pass the MOT repeatedly indicates that the vehicle is approaching the point where it cannot be safely maintained. The history shows no signs of a gradual improvement in mechanical health over the past few years; rather, the engine has been failing repeatedly.
