2016 GLE 130K ?

Hi, thinking about a 2016 GLE with 130K, ask 14K. Wondering what issues it may have in the near future?
I'm in New England. Seems to drive nice. Any opinions ? thx

My 2016 GLE 350 4 matic has had very few problems.
1. One of the coil springs was cracked and both then needed replacement…
2. There was a valve cover gasket leak discovered at 99,000 miles and fixed under my extended warranty.
all maintenance work done according to the MB manual.
I’m at 105,000 miles currently.
That’s it!

Without a full complete maintenance history, I'd walk away... if you're looking for a cheap vehicle, this ain't it

Higher mileage GLE's are hit and miss. My current one has significant miles, was previous owner's highway commuter.

Listen for rattle from the timing area on cold start - well known issue for cam adjusters to fail and make the position sensor on the cam walk..

Water pumps can leak

Turbo oil drains can seep

166 are robust and well designed, I think very reliable.
