2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · JH12 DAH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-28 at 107,499 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2025-11-27 at the same mileage failed without listing any issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or misclassification, though the latest result confirms roadworthiness. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the history, and the absence of defects in the 2024-2023 tests indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 11-year age, averaging 9,773 miles annually. Notable jumps include 16,000 miles between the 2022-12-01 test (72,833 miles) and 2023-11-09 (80,490 miles), followed by 16,000 miles to 96,416 by 2024-11-19, and 11,083 miles to 107,499 by 2025. These increases suggest consistent use but no extreme wear patterns. The lack of defects in all tests, despite the mileage, implies the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though no evidence of deeper mechanical interventions is present. A buyer should inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age and mileage, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop without MOT scrutiny. The absence of structural rust or emission issues in the record is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody and exhaust system is advised to confirm integrity. No immediate risks are flagged, but the vehicle’s history lacks detailed repair records, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase check.
