2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 3.0L Diesel · WD17 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 15 May 2026 at 39,177 miles, which recorded no defects. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record, the history shows a recent trend of wheel-related issues that required attention. The transition from recorded rim buckles in May 2024 to the slight wheel distortions noted in May 2025 suggests a period of impact damage or poor road surface usage, though the clean result in 2026 indicates these issues have likely been rectified. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,353 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth, such as the 2,310-mile increase between May 2024 and May 2025, and the 2,117-mile increase between May 2025 and May 2026. This low-use pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, but the 2020 failure at 15,596 miles, where all four tyres were flagged for exposed ply and cords, suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, leading to age-related rubber degradation rather than wear from distance. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the wheel alignment and suspension components. The May 2022 advisory regarding all four tyres scrubbing on inner edges and rear tyres stepping on outer edges strongly implies a history of incorrect camber or toe settings. This pattern often points to worn suspension bushes, damaged control arms, or poorly adjusted geometry. Given the repeated rim distortions and buckles flagged between 2024 and 2025, a thorough check of the wheel bearings and steering rack is necessary to ensure no underlying structural damage remains from previous impacts.
