2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.1L Diesel · JO07 OEN

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate expiring on 5 November 2026, following a pass on 6 November 2025. The maintenance trend shows a transition from a critical failure in October 2023 to two consecutive passes, suggesting that the immediate braking issues identified during that period were addressed. However, the recurring advisory regarding the inability to fully inspect components due to under-body covers and shields remains a persistent feature across all five recorded tests, which limits the depth of the available data regarding hidden structural or mechanical degradation. With a total of 74,173 miles recorded over a ten-year period, the vehicle averages approximately 7,417 miles per annum. This rate of use is consistent with typical domestic patterns for a premium SUV. The mileage accumulation has remained steady throughout the recorded history, with no evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-mileage cycles that would typically accelerate wear on the drivetrain or suspension bushings. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the discs and pads, as these components were flagged as worn or pitted in both 2022 and 2023. While the most recent test did not highlight these items, the history of recurring brake wear indicates that these parts are high-consumption items on this specific chassis. Given the consistent inability of testers to inspect components obscured by shields, a professional ramp inspection is recommended to check for hidden corrosion on the subframes, brake lines, and fuel pipes that may have been missed during standard MOT procedures. Buying score: 62. Risk level: Medium.
