2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · NH13 LMH

The 2026‑02‑09 MOT at 72,795 miles confirms the 2016 Mercedes‑Benz GLE is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded. The series of annual tests from 2020 to 2026 shows a stable maintenance pattern; each inspection has passed without major failures, though recurring tyre edge wear and thin brake pads indicate ongoing wear rather than improvement. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the 2022 test, noted worn tyre edges in 2021 and 2022, and recorded thin brake pads in 2021 and 2022. The mileage trajectory reflects typical use for a ten‑year‑old vehicle, averaging about 7,300 miles per year. From the 2020 test at 20,708 miles to the 2026 test at 72,795 miles the odometer rose by roughly 52,100 miles, a steady increase of around 9,400 miles in the most recent twelve months. No large gaps appear in the record; each year shows a consistent mileage increment, suggesting regular usage rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for any binding or corrosion, and check the chassis for structural rust around the wheel arches and sills. Tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness, and the condition of the exhaust system should be verified, and the child seat should be removed to allow a full inspection of the adult belt anchorage. Any previous advisories on tyre wear or nail punctures merit close attention, as they may signal alignment or maintenance lapses.
