2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · AB11 MCH

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 110,541 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the vehicle's life. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the previous keeper addressed consumable wear before each annual test. Mileage sits high for an eight-year-old premium SUV at 110,541 recorded miles, averaging roughly 13,800 miles per year. The accumulation was uneven. The car covered only 19,221 miles by September 2021 and 27,535 by August 2022, then jumped to 61,190 by October 2023 and 94,063 by October 2024. That 33,655-mile surge in year four signals a change from light use to heavy commuting or business mileage. The gap between the August 2022 and October 2023 tests also exceeds twelve months, though the late-2023 test still passed clean. Given the spotless test history, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues were flagged for the buyer to chase. The clean record does not mean components are unworn. At 110,541 miles the GLC will likely need front control arm bushes, rear trailing arm rubbers, and brake calipers checked for binding during a physical inspection. Drivetrain mounts and the 9G-Tronic gearbox service interval also deserve verification, as high annual mileage accelerates fluid degradation. A buyer should commission an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on structural integrity and underbody corrosion, since DVSA testers recorded no advisories despite the mileage climb. The previous owner kept the vehicle test-compliant but the rapid 2023 to 2024 accumulation means consumables aged faster than the clean MOT sheet suggests. Verify full service history against the odometer before purchase.
