2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · EF18 AED

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 4 September 2025 at 68,708 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show a steady increase from 30,490 miles in June 2021 to 68,708 miles in September 2025. This averages approximately 9,500 miles per year over the last four years, which aligns with the overall lifetime average of 8,588 miles per year. The lack of significant gaps in the testing intervals indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows only isolated instances of wear rather than a pattern of neglect. In June 2021, the tester flagged perishing on both front tyres, which is standard consumable wear. A more significant mechanical failure occurred on 7 September 2023 at 48,429 miles, where the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint was found to be excessively worn. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately following this failure suggests the component was replaced promptly. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension components to ensure the ball joint and suspension arms remain tight. While the recent records are clean, checking the condition of the tyres and brake pads is advisable given the previous advisory regarding tyre perishing. The overall data suggests a well-kept vehicle with no evidence of recurring structural or mechanical degradation.
