2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · LS66 ABF

This Mercedes-Benz GLE presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 70,119 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed on the same day at 70,118 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. It covered 11,589 miles between the August 2023 test at 46,046 miles and the September 2024 test at 55,637 miles. The subsequent jump to 70,119 miles by October 2025 indicates a slight increase in annual usage, but the overall average of roughly 7,000 miles per year suggests the car has not suffered from the degradation associated with prolonged standing or excessive heavy-duty use. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding advisories. There are no mentions of worn suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread issues across the last four years of testing. This lack of recorded wear on consumables suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the brake pads and tyres to ensure they have not reached their wear limits since the October 2025 test. Given the age of the vehicle, a manual check for underside corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points is advised to confirm the structural integrity remains intact.
