2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 1.9L Diesel · BU71 DMO

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 11 December 2025 at 45,880 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend as the mechanical issues from the previous year were immediately addressed. The transition from a failure to a pass suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical requirements identified by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a premium SUV, averaging approximately 11,470 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 14,431 miles between the December 2024 test at 31,449 miles and the December 2025 test at 45,880 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and moving components like the braking system and suspension bushings, preventing the corrosion or seizing-related issues associated with long periods of inactivity. The failure on 19 December 2024 highlighted poor tyre management, with front tyres falling below the 1.6mm legal limit and rear tyres showing uneven wear on the edges. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the edge wear on the rear axle often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components. A buyer should physically inspect the current tyre set for irregular wear and check the vehicle for any drift during a test to ensure the geometry remains within specification. Given that there are no structural or recurring mechanical failures recorded in the history, the focus should remain on the condition of high-wear consumables. The lack of advisories in the latest 2025 test suggests the brake discs and pads are currently in good condition, however, a manual inspection of the underbody for fluid leaks or shock absorber wear remains advisable to confirm that the previous tyre issues have not masked underlying suspension faults.
