2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · AH07 NER

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in February 2026 at 48,256 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed just three days prior to its last pass due to a nearside front tyre being below the legal limit and a badly cracked offside rear tyre inner tread. While the vehicle since passed after these repairs, the failures suggest the previous owner neglected basic tyre inspections until a formal test forced action rather than performing routine safety checks. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-useage luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 24,231 miles and February 2026 at 48,256 miles, the car covered roughly 24,000 miles over three years. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long intervals between tests and low mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components like tyres and suspension bushings, as evidenced by the cracking noted on the offside rear tyre. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the remaining tyres to check for dry cracking, as the low mileage often masks age-related rubber perish. The recurring offside rear tyre issues noted in both 2025 and 2026 tests indicate a potential alignment-related alignment problem or a worn suspension component that is causing uneven wear. While no structural corrosion or brake defects have been recorded in the history, the slight damage to the nearside rear inner wheel rim from 2023 suggests the vehicle has encountered curbs or impacts, which warrants a check of the wheel geometry and suspension integrity.
