2014 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5.5L Petrol · LD64 FJC

The vehicle is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance record. The most recent MOT on 24 April 2025 at 22,471 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very limited operational stress. The mileage data presents a significant anomaly that requires scrutiny. The vehicle recorded 34,200 miles during the 30 November 2023 test, yet the subsequent test on 28 November 2024 shows a lower figure of 22,380 miles. This discrepancy of nearly 12,000 miles suggests either a clerical error by the MOT tester or a potential issue with the odometer. Aside from this irregularity, the overall usage is very low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from deterioration due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as brakes can seize when left stationary for long periods. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing, regardless of tread depth, as rubber degrades over time. Given the G-Class chassis design, a thorough inspection of the underside for structural corrosion is essential. While the MOT records show no failures, the low usage pattern increases the risk of moisture traps and rust in the chassis rails. A physical check of the suspension bushes and fluid levels will confirm if the vehicle has been stored in a climate-controlled environment or left to sit in damp conditions.
