Insight summary

Mercedes-Benz Gle is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 29,942 represented vehicles and 0.07% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 89.0% from 150,269 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 60. The current pool shows an average of 61,271 miles and an average age of 6.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 80,997 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and driveshaft boots. The practical read is that the Mercedes-Benz Gle looks a little better than average, but still rewards careful checks on mileage and maintenance.
