2015 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · DF65 XSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening wear regarding suspension and tire components. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025, the last three inspections have all identified mechanical defects. The shift from a clean record in 2022 to recurring issues with joints and tyres suggests that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,150 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between 2021 and 2022 where the car was driven only about 6,500 miles, but usage has since remained steady with an increase of roughly 36,000 miles over the last three years. This steady accumulation indicates the car has been used for regular commuting, which accounts for the gradual degradation of rubber-to-metal parts. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension system, as the ball joints on the lower control arms were previously flagged for play in 2024. This issue, combined with repeated reports of uneven tire wear and low-traction edges, may indicate a persistent alignment problem or worn bushings that require attention. It is also advisable to verify if the front tires have been replaced since the last test to ensure the previous safety warnings were addressed.
