Hi my dads GLE500e seems to be making a grinding noise when he brakes hard but not at other times. Think of it more like the noise you would hear from a wooden ship at sea :p
Should he be worried? The car was serviced and inspected by MB in December and the last MOT has no warnings. if it was the suspension arms then the noise should be more like creaking at all times, especially in the crappy london roads.

one of a few issues, if its been parked a lot it may have rusted discs, or the pads may be worn either way get it checked you dont mess with Brakes
 
Pads are super thick and discs dont even have a lip! We suspect its the rear suspension arms perhaps
