MERCEDES-BENZ GLC2020 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 44,931 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The failure recorded just six days prior to that passing test at 44,928 miles indicates that significant issues regarding tyre condition and brake efficiency were overlooked. While the faults were rectified to pass the subsequent test, the recurring failures suggest that the previous owner only addressed mechanical concerns when forced by an official inspection failure. At 44,931 miles over six years, the GLC averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for a luxury SUV. The data shows a significant gap in mileage between June 2024 at 31,021 miles and May 2025 at 41,745 miles, covering over 10,000 miles in a single year. This sudden burst of activity explains the accelerated wear seen on consumables such as brake pads and rubber components in the later 2025 tests. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system and tyres, as the record shows thin front brake pads in May 2025 and low service brake efficiency in October 2025. The nearside rear tyres previously showed cuts reaching the ply cords, which is a structural failure of the rubber that should be checked for ongoing bulges. Additionally, the failure for an incorrectly fitted tyre in 2024 suggests a lack of attention to technical specifications, necessitating a thorough check that all current tyres match the manufacturer requirements.
