2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 3.0L Diesel · LB14 DAD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 January 2026 at 85,250 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect test results over the last five years indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners proactively addressed mechanical issues before they could manifest failures or flagged by a DVSA tester. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 38,389 miles and the January 2026 test at 85,250 miles, the vehicle covered 46,861 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The jump of 11,957 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests confirms the car has been used regularly, which generally prevents the internal component issues associated with long periods of standing, such as perished rubber seals. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items typical of a Mercedes GLC at 85,000 miles. The buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the control arm bushings for signs of premature tearing. Given the lack of recorded structural advisories, the primary focus remains the service history to ensure oil changes and gearbox fluid maintenance have followed the specified intervals.
