2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 May 2026 at 56,182 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a recurring issue with tyre management. While the failure on the offside rear tyre in May 2025 was rectified immediately, the subsequent test a year later flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This suggests that the owner reacts to MOT failures rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage accumulation is significantly high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2025 test and the May 2026 test, the car covered 13,805 miles in just twelve months. This consistent high mileage suggests heavy use, likely involving long-distance motorway driving. This rate of use puts accelerated stress on mechanical wear items, particularly the suspension bushings, brake components, and drivetrain assemblies, compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should personally inspect the vehicle alignment and suspension geometry, as the edge wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in 2026 often points to incorrect tracking settings or worn control arms. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure no thinning or uneven wear. You should also examine all tyres for sidewall damage or inconsistent wear, as the history shows a previous failure due to a structural cut reaching the cords.
