Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You often load a pushchair, dog or bulky bags: an estate layout could be useful. Try your own luggage rather than judging by the exterior size.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at 252,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Although listed as a GL, 2016-onwards models are sold as the GLS in Mercedes’ line-up — the 2018 diesel AUTOMATICs are usually 3.0‑litre V6 diesels with the 9‑speed automatic and often fitted with optional Airmatic air suspension and seven seats. Diesels of this size commonly have DPF and AdBlue equipment, and the 9G‑Tronic performs well when regularly serviced; however repairs and dealer parts are relatively expensive in Ireland. Check specifically for air suspension faults and that the DPF/AdBlue systems have been maintained, since short urban use can cause problems over time.
- Air suspension (Airmatic): listen for compressor running constantly, check ride height left/right and for rough ride or warning lights.
- 9G‑Tronic automatic gearbox: check for smooth, crisp shifts in all gears and ask for gearbox/ATF service history (avoid cars with judder or delayed engagement).
- DPF / EGR / AdBlue: scan for logged faults, look for excessive soot/black smoke on cold start and ask how often long motorway runs were done (necessary for DPF regeneration).
- Third‑row seats and electrics: confirm seats fold/lock smoothly, check carpeting under boot floor for water ingress and that parking sensors/ cameras work.
- Underbody and tow area: inspect rear subframe mounts, towbar wiring and wheel‑arch bottoms for corrosion or impact damage from towing heavy loads.
