2004 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5.5L Petrol · LF54 SJV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 1 April 2025 at 49,996 miles recorded as a Pass and no defects noted. After an isolated failure on 6 December 2021, the subsequent tests in December 2021, January 2023, August 2024 and April 2025 all passed without comment, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. Across a 22‑year lifespan the odometer shows just under 50,000 miles, averaging roughly 2,300 miles per year. The mileage rose from 44,084 miles in December 2021 to 49,996 miles by April 2025, a modest increase of about 6,000 miles over three and a half years, suggesting gentle use rather than periods of heavy travel or long storage. No abrupt spikes or gaps appear in the record. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension, paying particular attention to the condition of the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as wear can be hidden despite clean MOT results. Inspect the brake system for any signs of binding calipers, disc thinning or uneven wear, especially given the vehicle’s age. Examine tyre tread depth and uniformity, and look for surface rust or corrosion on the chassis and under‑body panels, as structural integrity is not always captured in MOT advisories. A visual check of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions will also confirm that the vehicle’s emissions performance aligns with the clean record.
