2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.1L Diesel · GD18 HSA

The vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness record over the past five years, with all tests passing without defects. The most recent test in November 2025 at 109,917 miles confirmed the vehicle's compliance with roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or defects in any test suggests consistent maintenance and upkeep by previous owners. The only recurring issue was the offside rear tyre, which was flagged as worn close to the legal limit in December 2022 at 61,724 miles. This indicates that tyre maintenance was not consistently prioritised, but it did not affect the vehicle's roadworthiness. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually high for its age. Over eight years, it has accumulated 109,917 miles, averaging approximately 13,740 miles per year. This suggests either heavy use or long periods of inactivity, which could have accelerated wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components. The most recent test in November 2025 shows a 17,094-mile gap since the previous test in November 2024, indicating a period of lighter use or possible vehicle storage. Conversely, the gap between the June 2021 and December 2022 tests was 27,566 miles, suggesting a period of more intensive use. The high mileage and variable usage pattern warrant careful inspection of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension components, including the shock absorbers, coil springs, and suspension bushes, given the high mileage and potential for wear. The brakes should also be thoroughly checked, as high mileage can lead to brake disc wear and potential binding calipers. The exhaust system should be inspected for any signs of corrosion or leaks, particularly given the vehicle's age. Additionally, the offside rear tyre should be replaced, as it was flagged as worn in the December 2022 test. Finally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, especially in areas prone to moisture, such as the wheel arches and undercarriage.
