2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · RJ17 YYY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test in October 2025 at 54,996 miles passed despite an advisory regarding a damaged or perished nearside front tyre. This follows the 2024 test where the tester flagged a cut tyre and a worn nearside rear tyre, suggesting the owner is only now addressing tyre issues rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 8,875 miles, indicating a stable and low usage profile. The lack of defects in the 2022 and 2023 tests suggests that the primary mechanical components remained in good condition during that period. The low mileage generally mitigates wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading due to age alone. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record indicates a history of perishing and uneven wear. Given the age of the GLE and the low mileage, the tester should also examine the suspension bushes and bushings for cracking, as these can become brittle when vehicles are not driven frequently. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the recent advisory on tyre perishing in 2025 suggests the rubber compounds may be reaching the end of their functional life regardless of the tread depth.
