2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · OV16 UVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 103,488 miles resulted in a failure due to a worn offside rear tyre and incorrect headlamp aim. While these issues were rectified for the pass, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses consumable items when they reach the point of an MOT failure. At 103,488 miles over a ten-year period, the GLC averages approximately 10,350 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a premium European SUV. The mileage data shows consistent annual accumulation, with roughly 7,400 miles driven between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though it also places the vehicle under standard wear and tear for suspension bushings and braking hardware. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension geometry and alignment, as the record consistently flags tyres worn on the edges in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This recurring pattern often indicates misaligned tracking or worn control arm bushes that have not been properly serviced. The 2024 advisory noted worn front brake discs at 91,087 miles; given the current mileage, these components are likely nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection of the brake rotors and the condition of all tyres is essential to ensure that the uneven wear has not caused deeper mechanical damage to the wheel assembly.
