2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 4.0L Petrol · 99 OD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 September 2025 at 47,203 miles, indicating it is roadworthy for the time being. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable items, specifically brakes and tyres. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection, the initial failure on the same day due to incorrectly fitted tyres and thin brake pads suggests that basic preventative maintenance is being deferred until the point of mandatory testing. The recorded mileage of 47,203 over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 5,900 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this class. The history shows consistent, low-level usage with no significant gaps or periods of inactivity. This pattern of light use is generally favourable, though it often leads to accelerated corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers if the vehicle is left standing for extended periods between these annual test cycles. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, as the records from September 2024 and September 2025 highlight persistent wear on both discs and pads. You must verify the current thickness of the rear brake pads and ensure the discs are free from heavy scoring or lip formation. Additionally, check the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear, a recurring issue noted in the 2024 test. Given the history of tyre-related failures and advisories, confirm that all four tyres are of a matching premium brand and correctly oriented to ensure the vehicle handles as designed.
