2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 D 4M Designo Line A 3.0L Diesel · DGZ 6726

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 7 September 2025 at 85,421 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of perfect scores across the last five years suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to an exacting standard, proactively addressing minor issues before they typically trigger an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between the August 2021 test at 50,662 miles and the September 2025 test at 85,421 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 34,700 miles, indicating a steady usage profile rather than long periods of stagnation. This regular operation helps mitigate the risks associated with perished seals or seized brake components, while the low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension have faced less stress than typically seen in high-mileage SUVs. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items common to the GLE platform. Given the weight and age, close attention must be paid to the condition of the air suspension bellows and control arm bushes for signs of cracking or leaking. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than overall component health. The clean history implies a well-cared-for example, but the physical state of the chassis for structural corrosion remains essential for a vehicle of this age.
