2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 AMG Line Prem DE 4M A 1.9L Electric diesel · AS64 SAV

The most recent DVSA examination, conducted on 6 November 2025, resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a positive trend across the documented MOT history, with passes also recorded on 29 November 2024 and 5 December 2023, each absent of any noted issues. The only flagged item across the available record is a tyre-related advisory from September 2023, which concerned the nearside front tyre being worn on its outer edge. Given that the 2024 and 2025 tests returned clean results, the maintenance profile suggests the vehicle has been kept in good roadworthy condition, with no recurring or worsening concerns flagged by the examining station. Overall, the testing record indicates a stable mechanical trajectory consistent with attentive ownership. The recorded mileage of 28,559 miles on a six-year-old vehicle equates to an average annual usage of roughly 4,760 miles, which is notably low for the age and class of vehicle. Such modest accumulation typically reflects a combination of light use and extended periods of standing, often characteristic of a secondary or leisure vehicle. While low mileage generally means reduced wear on major mechanical assemblies such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, prolonged inactivity can introduce its own set of concerns. Standing vehicles are susceptible to moisture accumulation within brake hydraulic systems, oxidation of brake disc friction surfaces, deterioration of rubber and polymer components through age rather than use, and degradation of fluids on a calendar basis. The relatively consistent annual pattern inferred from the test dates further supports the impression of intermittent rather than daily use. For a prospective buyer, a physical inspection should prioritise areas affected by age and standing rather than pure wear. The nearside front tyre advisory from 2023 warrants confirmation that a replacement has been fitted and that the wheel alignment, particularly camber, has been checked, as uneven outer-edge wear can recur if the geometry is out of specification. On a test drive, listen for any clonking or rattling from the front suspension over bumps, suggesting worn anti-roll bar bushes or drop links, and feel for pulling to one side under braking which could indicate a binding caliper that has seized from disuse. Inspect the brake discs for sharp lipping and any significant surface corrosion, as lightly used discs can develop pitting that may affect smoothness during the first application of the brakes. Also check the condition of all four tyres for sidewall perishing or cracking, which is common on low-mileage vehicles and can necessitate replacement regardless of tread depth. Finally, given the calendar age of the vehicle, attention should turn to time-scheduled items that do not depend on mileage. The 12-volt battery should be load-tested, as batteries on infrequently driven cars often fail prematurely due to repeated shallow discharge cycles. Verify the service book history to confirm that engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, brake fluid, and coolant have been renewed on a calendar basis in accordance with Mercedes-Benz recommendations, typically every one to two years for brake fluid and every two to three years for coolant. Examine the underside and wheel arches for any signs of fluid leakage or surface corrosion, and ensure the four-wheel-drive system has been exercised regularly to keep the transfer case and rear differential lubricants circulating and seals lubricated. A pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes-Benz specialist or a vehicle health check at a franchised dealer would provide further reassurance given the low annual mileage and the resultant age-related considerations.
