2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · DL16 FWW

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 13 September 2024 at 53,018 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met safety and emissions standards without showing signs of recurring mechanical failure or structural degradation over the last five testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old GLE, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Data shows a period of reduced use between November 2021 and October 2022, where the vehicle covered only 2,041 miles in a year. However, the usage increased significantly in the following period, with 13,549 miles clocked in between October 2022 and September 2024. This shift suggests the vehicle has transitioned from occasional use to more regular driving, though the overall low mileage can sometimes lead to the aging of rubber components and fluid breakdown during longer periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is flawless, a buyer must inspect for age-related issues common to low-mileage luxury SUVs of this era. Check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these components can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or corroded brake lines. Additionally, verify the tyre age codes and sidewall cracking, as the tread depth may be sufficient despite the age of the rubber compound.
