2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 4 August 2025 at 68,535 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met all regulatory standards. This follows several years of clean results, suggesting that the owner has maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep rather than reacting to failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between the 2020 test at 32,409 miles and the 2025 test at 68,535 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 36,000 miles, showing steady usage without excessive periods of inactivity. This consistent rate prevents the degradation associated with long standing times while avoiding the accelerated wear on drivetrain components seen in high-mileage motorway commuting. The only noted mechanical concern in the history occurred in August 2022 at 46,476 miles, where the tester identified slight play in the front lower suspension arm ball joints on both sides. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests without further mention of this issue, it indicates that suspension components were reaching their natural wear limit. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the front suspension bushings and ball joints to ensure no new play has developed, as these are common points of failure on this chassis as they age.
