2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 3.0L Diesel · MP65 RYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a downward shift towards reactive preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 127,613 miles identified multiple advisories that were absent in the previous year. While the vehicle passed, the emergence of an oil leak, worn anti-roll bar bushings, and all four tyres reaching the legal limit suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure or an advisory. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a high-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between November 2022 at 83,669 miles and February 2024 at 88,354 miles, during which the car covered only 4,700 miles. However, usage increased sharply recently, with nearly 40,000 miles driven between 2024 and March 2026, which places accelerated demand on the mechanical components of the heavy GL chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and geometry, as the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear in February 2024 and March 2026 indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The anti-roll bar linkage wear noted in the latest test requires immediate attention to prevent clunking and handling instability. Furthermore, the oil leak flagged in March 2026 needs a professional under assessment to determine if it is a minor seal or a more significant gasket failure, given the high mileage of the engine.
