2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 1.9L Diesel · EY21 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 27 March 2026 at 76,292 miles. Although the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a specific issue was rectified quickly before retest. Since the 2024 test, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,200 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 38,240 miles and the April 2025 test at 55,736 miles, the previous owner covered over 17,000 miles in just thirteen months. This consistent, high-mile pattern suggests regular long-distance motorway use, which typically spares the engine more than short city trips but accelerates wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. Given the high mileage and the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade under heavy use loads. Examine the front suspension arms, coil springs, and rubber bushings for signs of tearing or premature wear, as the 76,000-mile mark often coincides with these requiring replacement. Check the brake discs for thinness and the pads for uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure these beyond safety limits. The lack of structural corrosion advisories suggests the chassis remains sound, but an underbody check is still advisable to ensure no road salt has compromised the exhaust system or fuel lines.
