2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 AMG Line Prem D 4M A 1.9L Diesel · A21 JBE

The vehicle holds a valid certificate of MOT following its most recent test in January 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue regarding the braking system. While the vehicle passed a failure in December 2024 due to misaligned windscreen washer jets, the recurring advisory for thin rear brake pads appeared in that test and persisted through to the January 2026 inspection. This indicates that the rear brake components have not been addressed over the last two testing cycles. At 42,467 miles and seven years of age, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,067 miles per year. This low mileage is consistent with light use for a premium SUV of this age. The record shows a significant gap in testing between the November 2022 test and the December 2024 test, during which no mileage data was captured in the DVSA database. The low annual mileage suggests less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, but the lack of frequent records masks the exact rate of mechanical degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly, as the repeated flagging of thin pads suggests they require immediate replacement. The December 2023 advisory also noted front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which often indicates alignment issues or incorrect tyre pressure. Verification of the current tyre condition and washer jets is necessary to ensure the 2024 failure was properly rectified. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
