2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · MT67 VUS

The most recent MOT test on June 14, 2025, confirms this 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 110,399 miles. Over the past five annual tests—all passing without fail—the vehicle has demonstrated a consistent maintenance pattern, suggesting no recurring mechanical failures or advisory trends. The absence of advisories or defects across these intervals implies the previous owner adhered to scheduled servicing, though this does not preclude unseen wear or deferred maintenance in non-MOT areas like fluid changes or minor bushings. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 13,800 miles annually, which is higher than average for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests—spanning nine months—corresponds to a slower accumulation of 5,445 miles, while the subsequent intervals show more typical annual usage. This pattern suggests the vehicle was either lightly used for a period or stood idle, though the rapid mileage after 2021 indicates recent active service. The lack of advisories during these periods does not rule out accelerated wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain seals, which may require closer inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade faster under high mileage. The binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear—common in vehicles with this mileage—should be checked, as should the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, especially around flanges. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are unaffected, and visual inspection of underbody components for rust or fluid leaks is essential. The engine bay should be scrutinised for oil leaks, worn serpentine belts, and the condition of the power steering pump, while the interior should reveal any signs of water ingress or electrical faults, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs.
