2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · KE17 AEB

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-07 at 97,984 miles. The prior three annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2024-02-09 at 74,471 miles is recorded, though no defects were noted, suggesting either a procedural error or transient anomaly. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in subsequent inspections implies the car has remained in reliable condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,887 miles annually. The 2024-02-09 test occurred just three days after the 74,478-mile inspection, creating a narrow 7-mile gap that may reflect administrative delays or overlapping test periods. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, supporting the conclusion of regular operation. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, which could indicate either meticulous upkeep or limited diagnostic depth in older records. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly at 74,471 miles where the failed test occurred, and inspect brake systems for wear given the vehicle’s age. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, common in older Mercedes models, warrant scrutiny. While no structural issues are documented, the lack of detailed defect data means in-person inspection of critical systems—brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust integrity—is advisable to confirm the MOT records’ accuracy and identify any latent concerns.
