2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE 5.5L Petrol · S6 SMG

This 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE has covered only around 5,600 miles per year since new, putting it well below typical use. While low mileage can mean lighter wear on mechanical components, it also raises the possibility of extended standing periods, which can leave tyres, seals, and rubber degraded even without high-speed driving. The MOT record reveals a clear and concerning pattern focused on tyre condition. Over the past two years, this vehicle has shown consistent evidence of edge wear and damage across multiple tyres. In October 2023, both nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. Just one day later, the same inspection found an offside rear tyre with a cut deep enough to reach the ply cords, which was serious enough to fail the MOT. By October 2024, the nearside front and rear tyres were again worn close to the limit on their edges. Most recently, a nail puncture was noted in the nearside rear tyre at the December 2025 test. The recurring edge wear on multiple tyres across different test dates points to a likely alignment or suspension issue causing abnormal tyre loading. Rather than random punctures or normal wear spreading evenly across the tread, the pattern of edge-wear failures and damage suggests the wheels may be running at an incorrect angle to the road surface.
