2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC2.1L DIESEL

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the 7 July 2026 MOT pass at 85,689 miles. The tester flagged worn rear anti-roll bar pins or bushes on both sides, though movement stayed within permissible limits. The 14 July 2022 test passed at 39,967 miles, and subsequent annual examinations through 3 July 2025 repeated that outcome with zero defects, establishing a clean history before the lone suspension advisory emerged. Odometer readings sit high for a seven-year-old premium SUV, averaging roughly 12,241 miles per year. The records chart steady accumulation rather than dormant periods: distance rose from 39,967 miles in July 2022 to 52,398 by June 2023, then 64,074 in July 2024, 77,335 in July 2025, and 85,689 in July 2026. Such consistent yearly use implies the previous keepers covered regular long journeys and adhered strictly to test deadlines. Absence of any defect entries across those dates suggests they addressed routine consumables without delay. A buyer should physically inspect the rear anti-roll bar pins and bushes noted last month, assessing rubber condition and any increase in play. High mileage demands close attention to brake discs, calipers, coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue or binding. Check subframe and mounting points for corrosion, even though the MOT never recorded it. Tyres and wiper blades may require renewal through normal wear, so measure tread depth and blade wipe quality during the viewing.
