2013 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · LG63 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 April 2025 at 96,835 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent as the car has consistently achieved clean passes following immediate re-test successes. While the record shows initial failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passes suggests minor issues that were rectified quickly rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 80,892 miles and April 2024 at 87,478 miles, the vehicle covered 6,586 miles, followed by another 9,357 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady usage profile indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long periods of standing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the air suspension system and lower wish, as these are common failure points on the GL series of this age. Although the MOT history is clean of structural advisories, the weight of the vehicle necessitates a close check for worn suspension bushes and play in the control arms. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and checking for seized calipers is also advisable to ensure the previous clean passes are not masking underlying wear.
