2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.1L Diesel · GV65 AHA

The most recent MOT test on June 11, 2025, confirms this 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 79,383 miles. The preceding test in June 2024, however, revealed four tyres worn dangerously close to the legal limit—all four exhibiting edge wear and tread depths between 2mm and 2.3mm. While the vehicle passed in 2023 and 2022 without issues, this recurring tyre concern suggests either inconsistent maintenance or a failure to address wear promptly. The absence of further advisories or defects in the latest test implies the tyres were replaced or restored between June 2024 and June 2025, but this remains the only significant pattern in the record. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 7,200 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record—each test occurred within the standard 12-month window, and the mileage increments are consistent. The absence of earlier MOTs before 2022 prevents a fuller historical assessment, but the data available does not indicate neglect or aggressive driving. The most notable outlier remains the 2024 tyre failures, which stand out against otherwise clean tests. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the current tyres, verifying they meet legal tread depth requirements and lack uneven wear patterns. Given the previous edge wear issues, check for signs of misalignment or suspension wear affecting tyre contact. The brakes were never flagged in the MOT history, but the age of the vehicle warrants inspection of brake pads, discs, and caliper binding—especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven stopping or a pull. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for deterioration, as these components degrade predictably over 11 years and 79,000 miles. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be checked for leaks or corrosion, as these are common failure points in luxury SUVs of this era.
