Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary point for negotiation is the tyres. The MOT history from 2024, 2025, and 2026 consistently notes 'cracking or perishing' on the sidewalls; this is typical for low-mileage vehicles where the rubber ages before the tread wears down. You should insist on a full set of new tyres if they have not already been replaced since the May 2026 test.
Additionally, check the service history to confirm that oil and filter changes were carried out at the recommended intervals, regardless of the low mileage. Ensure the nearside side repeater lens is replaced, as this has been a persistent advisory for the last two years.
Running costs for this 1950cc diesel engine will be dominated by insurance and fuel. As a large luxury SUV, it will sit in a higher insurance group, and while the Euro 6 engine is efficient for its size, the overall weight of the GLE impacts MPG.
Annual costs will include the standard diesel VED rate and scheduled Mercedes-Benz maintenance. Given the low usage, maintenance may be less frequent, but the cost per visit for a vehicle of this specification remains high.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and perishing, as this has been highlighted in three consecutive MOT tests (2024-2026). Check the nearside side repeater lens for the defect noted in the 2025 and 2026 records.
Referring to the model's aggregate data, you should also specifically check the condition of the brake pads and coil springs, as these are among the top failure reasons for the GLE across the UK fleet.
This 2019 white Mercedes-Benz GLE diesel has covered only 21,240 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. It has a consistent record of MOT passes from 2022 to 2026, although the last three tests have flagged issues with perishing tyres. The vehicle meets Euro 6(AG) emissions standards, making it suitable for low-emission zones.
The GLE maintains a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.1%, with tyres being one of the most common points of failure.
