2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.9L Diesel · LB21 ETL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 44,374 miles, the tester flagged a thin inner front brake pad and both rear tyres being close to the legal limit with edge wear. This suggests that while the vehicle passes its tests, the owner tends to defer consumable replacements until they reach a point of near failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 13,654 miles between the February 2024 test at 10,057 miles and the February 2025 test at 23,711 miles, followed by another 20,663 miles leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, which generally results in more predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and alignment geometry given the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles in both 2024 and 2026. The offside front tyre showed heavy outer edge wear at 10,057 miles, while rear tyres showed edge wear at 44,374 miles, which often points to tracking alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, a thorough check of the braking system is required to ensure the thin inner front pad has not caused uneven disc wear or caliper binding.
