2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.0L Petrol · CA68 YHO

The most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑04 recorded 89,780 miles and returned a PASS, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The preceding test only ten days earlier had flagged an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, a fault that would have required repair before the subsequent pass. The brake‑disc and pad wear noted in 2022 persisted through the 2024 tyre‑advisory test, suggesting a pattern of consumable degradation rather than a sudden mechanical failure. Overall the maintenance trend shows a gradual accumulation of wear items, with the suspension issue resolved but the underlying usage intensity remaining a concern. Mileage accumulation has been consistent and relatively rapid. Between May 2022 (40,274 miles) and November 2025 (89,780 miles) the vehicle added roughly 49,500 miles over three years, averaging about 12,800 miles annually. The jump from 68,729 miles in August 2024 to 89,309 miles in October 2025 represents a 20,580‑mile increase in just over a year, highlighting heavy usage. The short interval between the October failure and the November pass also points to a quick repair cycle, leaving little time for long‑term monitoring of the suspension component. A buyer should inspect the suspension mounting area for signs of ball‑joint wear, check the front brake discs and pads for scoring or thinness, and examine both rear tyres for uneven wear approaching the legal limit. The boot area should be inspected for unrestricted access and any corrosion, as the 2022 record noted an inability to fully examine the luggage space. Finally, verify that the recent repairs were performed to manufacturer standards, as the high mileage and repeated advisories suggest the vehicle has been subjected to more rigorous duty than typical for its age.
