2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 D 4MATIC AMG Line Auto 3.0L Heavy oil · MA51 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-30 at 103,650 miles confirms it passed without any defects, maintaining a clean record across all three tests. This suggests no recurring mechanical or structural issues have been identified by the tester, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The consistent pass status implies the vehicle has not experienced major failures in braking, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity during the past 18 months. However, the lack of advisories in prior tests means even minor concerns—such as worn suspension bushes or binding calipers—may have gone unrecorded, requiring a thorough inspection. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 10,365 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests—13,608 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 11,608 miles between 2024 and 2025—are well within the 12-month MOT interval, with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or rapid mileage spikes that might indicate neglect or aggressive driving. There is no indication of extended periods off the road, which could have allowed corrosion or fluid degradation to develop. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit fatigue without causing immediate MOT failures. The brake discs and pads, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or glazing, particularly if the vehicle has been driven hard. The drivetrain, including the 4MATIC differential and transfer case, warrants attention given the age and mileage, as fluid contamination or internal wear often only becomes apparent through a detailed fluid analysis or road test. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age and mileage.
