2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · LP16 ACZ

The vehicle presents a generally consistent maintenance history, though recent records indicate a period of concern regarding tyre condition and brake components. The most recent inspection in June 2024 resulted in a pass with no major defects, suggesting that the issues identified in previous years were addressed. However, the failure in August 2020 due to low tread on the nearside and offside rear tyres highlights a past instance where consumable maintenance appears to have been neglected. Since that period, the car has maintained a clean record of passes without significant structural or mechanical failures. The mileage progression is relatively standard for a vehicle of this age, moving from 17,000 miles in 2019 to over 63,000 miles by 2024. This represents an annual average of approximately 9,000 miles, which falls well within the typical range for a used car. There are no major gaps in the MOT history that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of the seals, rubber components, and braking systems. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the history shows these areas have been flagged for attention previously. While the 2024 test was clear, the earlier advisories for brake fixing issues and tyre-related failures indicate that these components are the primary areas of wear on this specific example. The absence of recorded structural corrosion or emissions failures in the history is a positive indicator for the integrity of the chassis and engine system.
