2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · GU16 AAV

This Mercedes-Benz GLC maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 22 April 2024 at 81,215 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2020, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,122 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2023 test at 74,380 miles and the April 2024 test at 81,215 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,835 miles over the year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is unusual for a ten-year-old vehicle. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the brake discs and pads for wear and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components typically degrade over 80,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Check the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. A physical check of the tyre tread depths and a review of the service history for oil changes and transmission fluid flushes will confirm if the owner's maintenance habits matched the clean MOT record.
