2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 AMG LN Prem + D 4MAT A 2.9L Diesel · SK70 YPJ

The vehicle presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at 28,991 miles on 29 February 2024. That most recent test recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating no active mechanical or structural concerns at the time of inspection. The trend is clearly positive: a single tyre-related failure in September 2023 was promptly rectified, and the subsequent test less than five months later shows the defect was addressed rather than ignored. No recurring faults, corrosion, suspension wear, brake issues, or emissions failures appear in the record, suggesting consistent upkeep over the observed period. Mileage accumulation tells a story of very light use. The vehicle covered just 3,486 miles between the September 2023 test and the February 2024 test, a span of roughly five months. Over its full six-year life, the annual average sits at approximately 4,832 miles, well below the typical UK annual figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles. The gap between the 2024 test and today, over two years with no further recorded mileage, raises the possibility that the vehicle has been standing or driven very infrequently since. Extended periods of inactivity can introduce its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and battery degradation, none of which the MOT record can confirm or rule out. The only defect on record is a cut to the nearside rear tyre reaching the ply or cords, flagged under regulation 5.2.3 (d) (i) during the failed test on 20 September 2023. This is a consumable item, not a structural or mechanical failure, and the immediate retest the following day confirms it was replaced. No suspension components, brake system parts, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity items have ever been flagged across the available history. The record is sparse but clean, with no pattern of neglect or deferred maintenance visible in the data. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas the MOT cannot fully assess. Check all four tyres for age-related cracking and uneven wear, particularly the nearside rear, given its prior damage. Inspect brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from prolonged standing, and verify the battery's cranking health after what appears to be a long idle period. Examine the underside for any fresh corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, or exhaust components, as low-mileage vehicles stored in damp conditions can still develop surface rust. The MOT record supports a well-maintained vehicle, but the two-year gap since the last test means a pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
