2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · DE15 AAC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 at 94,593 miles showed a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2026-02-13 at the same mileage. This suggests potential issues with the test process or unresolved minor faults. Previous tests in 2025 and 2023 also showed no defects, indicating a generally stable maintenance record. However, the repeated failures at identical mileages raise concerns about inconsistent testing or unresolved underlying issues that may not have been fully addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,593 miles aligns with an average of 10,510 miles per year since 2017, which is typical for its age. A significant jump from 57,974 miles (2023) to 79,449 miles (2025) over two years suggests increased usage, though the lack of defects in those tests implies no major mechanical deterioration. The recent 15,144-mile increase in 2026, however, coincides with two MOT tests at the same mileage, which may indicate periods of inactivity or incomplete repairs. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age and mileage. The absence of recorded defects in failures does not rule out minor issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may require closer examination. Corrosion in the exhaust system and structural integrity around the chassis should also be checked, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this vintage. The MOT history does not highlight major structural faults, but the repeated testing at identical mileages warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
