2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 1.9L Diesel · DT02 AET

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 45,590 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. The transition from an advisory in earlier years to clean sheets in recent tests suggests the current ownership is taking proactive action regarding required maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between October 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 7,557 miles, while it clocked another 10,022 miles in the year leading up to the October 2025 test. This slight increase in usage suggests regular operation, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components to prevent the corrosion or seizing often associated with long periods of standing. The only recorded mechanical issue in the history occurred in October 2023 at 28,011 miles, where both the nearside and offside front brake pads were noted at 4mm. While the subsequent tests show no further faults, a buyer should verify the current thickness of the front brake discs and pads to ensure they have not worn unevenly. Given the vehicle's weight, a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushings and air spring components is also advisable, as these parts are common points of wear on heavy German SUVs that do not always trigger a standard MOT failure until damage becomes significant.
