2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC2.1L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-21 at 120,384 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. All tests from 2022 to 2025 resulted in passes, with no recurring issues reported. The single failed test in 2022-10-13 at 77,486 miles was resolved within 24 hours, as evidenced by the subsequent pass on 2022-10-14 at 77,492 miles. This suggests minor, fixable problems rather than systemic deterioration. The absence of structural corrosion, brake wear, or suspension faults in the records indicates the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The mileage of 120,384 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 12,000 miles annually, which is above average for a 2016 model. This rate accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though the MOT history lacks specific mentions of such items. Notably, the 2024-10-11 test at 105,238 miles and 2023-10-25 test at 93,101 miles show consistent intervals, suggesting regular servicing. The 2022-10-13 failure, occurring just 6 miles prior to the next test, may reflect a transient issue rather than chronic neglect. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear, as excessive use can cause binding or warping. The exhaust system’s integrity is critical, as emissions compliance often correlates with underlying mechanical health. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and usage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden wear or unresolved faults.
