2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 AMG Line Prem D 4M A 1.9L Diesel · AM12 HHB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-28 confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded, though it was preceded by a failure on 2025-04-25—an unusual anomaly given the identical test date and no defects logged. This suggests either a rare administrative oversight or a minor, non-recurring issue resolved before retesting. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, indicating the vehicle passed all critical checks for suspension integrity, structural soundness, and major systems. The absence of repeated failures on brakes, emissions, or steering components further supports a stable maintenance pattern, though the abrupt retest warrants confirmation that no underlying issues were overlooked. The recorded mileage of 23,171 miles over four years—roughly 5,793 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, especially given the AMG-tuned drivetrain and higher-performance suspension components. Such low mileage could imply limited use, extended periods of storage, or even potential odometer manipulation, though no red flags like inconsistent mileage jumps or gaps between tests are evident. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means there’s no direct evidence of regular servicing, but the clean pass history suggests no severe wear has gone unchecked. Buyers should verify the mileage’s authenticity and assess whether the vehicle has been stored with appropriate precautions, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate issues like battery degradation or suspension seal deterioration. Given the sparse MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that often fail without warning, particularly the suspension system. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension bushes, and inspect coil springs and dampers for leaks or corrosion. The brakes, though not flagged, should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was stored with the brakes applied. Exhaust emissions systems, while passed, may benefit from a visual check for leaks or cracked catalytic converters, particularly if the vehicle was driven sporadically. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rust progression when exposed to moisture without movement.
