The MERCEDES-BENZ GL CLASS (2009-13) GL350 5DR SUV 3.0 CDI BLUEEFFICIENCY 224 7G-T AUTO is a large, premium seven-seat SUV, aimed at buyers needing more space and presence than a typical family crossover. In the UK used market, it sits among luxury full-size 4x4s, competing with models such as the Audi Q7 and BMW X5. Its roomy cabin and seven seats make it well suited to larger families, long journeys and drivers who tow or want a commanding view. Mycarcheck recorded 268 checks across 131 different VINs, a good-sized sample. Checked examples averaged 119,000 miles and around 8,000 miles annually. The average private-sale valuation was £9,500, while recorded cars had almost four previous keepers. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit relaxed, spacious travel, though a vehicle this size may cost more to run than smaller SUVs. The GL stands out for luxury and capacity; check history and condition carefully.
