Our Verdict
A strong contender for those seeking a large diesel SUV with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle has maintained a clean passing history over the last four years without recorded defects.
When viewing this specific black GLE, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test minimum safety standards. Given the mileage has increased by approximately 7,000 to 11,000 miles annually, ensure that major service intervals for the 2143cc diesel engine have been met.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements and the age of the tyres. While this vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model suggests that tyres, coil springs, and brake pads are common points of failure, so check these components for wear during your inspection.
As a 2.1L diesel, the GLE is designed for motorway efficiency, though its size means fuel costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Tax bands for this model vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, so verify the exact rate for this registration.
Insurance groups for Mercedes SUVs tend to be mid-to-high, and maintenance costs can be significant due to the complexity of the vehicle. Expect typical maintenance costs to include periodic brake and tyre replacements, which are statistically common for this model type.
Pay close attention to the suspension components, specifically the coil springs, as these are identified as a top failure reason for this model in aggregate data. Additionally, inspect the brake pads and discs, as well as the tread depth and condition of all four tyres.
Since the most recent MOT in June 2025 showed no defects, the vehicle appears to have been kept within safety limits, but you should still check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension issues.
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE presents with 82,738 miles on the clock, which is slightly above the model average of 9,119 miles per year. However, the MOT history is notably clean, showing no defects or advisories across the four recorded tests between 2022 and 2025. The 2.1L diesel engine is a common configuration for this model, offering a balance of torque and efficiency for long-distance driving.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.0% across the 33,653 vehicles analysed.
