2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.0L Petrol · JO05 SAS

The 2026‑07‑24 MOT at 49,347 miles resulted in a pass, but the record also notes a failed entry on the same day with a near‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint excessively worn. This indicates that the most recent test did not resolve the recurring suspension fault, and the tyre perishing advisories suggest ongoing wear. Thus the maintenance trend is worsening rather than stable, with repeated failures on the same components. Mileage has risen from 21,158 miles in July 2022 to 49,347 miles in July 2026, a gain of roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s seven‑year age and points to consistent, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or aggressive high‑mileage operation. The interval between each annual test is about one year, with no evidence of extended gaps or sudden mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the suspension system, specifically inspecting the front lower arm ball joint for play or binding, and examining the condition of the coil springs and bushes for corrosion or fatigue. The repeated tyre perishing advisories demand a close look at tread depth, sidewall cracking and the integrity of any previous nail repairs, while the brake system should be checked for binding calipers, worn discs and proper pad thickness. If these items are verified as sound and any necessary repairs are carried out, the GLC can remain roadworthy; however, the pattern of recurring faults suggests that previous owners may have deferred essential maintenance, so a thorough in‑person inspection is essential before purchase.
