2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · FH65 HGY

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC shows a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 10 November 2025 at 99,678 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The vehicle carries a clean MOT record with no advisories or defects logged at any test. A prior failure on 7 November 2025 at 99,557 miles is notable, yet the tester recorded no defects, indicating the failure likely stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,968 miles per year against the 99,678 miles recorded. The records show 46,984 miles on 12 September 2022, rising to 53,274 by 24 April 2023, then 74,168 on 28 June 2024, and 99,678 by November 2025. The jump of over 25,000 miles between mid-2024 and late-2025 suggests heavier use in the final year, though the sparse testing intervals leave the intervening pattern undocumented. No long stationary periods are evidenced by the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the increased annual mileage in the most recent period. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but the DVSA test on 7 November 2025 with a failure and zero defects warrants confirmation that no suppressed mechanical issue existed at that point. Given the clean history, focus physical checks on consumable items such as tyre tread depth and wiper condition rather than structural integrity.
