2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · P23 LAP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a currently clean MOT record. The most recent inspection conducted on 09 January 2026 at 70,247 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed effectively. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 33,264 miles and the January 2026 test at 70,247 miles, the car covered 36,983 miles, representing a steady usage rate. The gap of 12,543 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025 tests shows a normal annual accumulation, which helps prevent excessive corrosion often associated with stationary components. The history reveals a specific failure on 08 January 2024 at 47,755 miles due to both the nearside and offside front tyres having exposed ply or cords. This failure was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed the very following day, but it highlights a lapse in monitoring consumable wear at that time. The 2022 advisory regarding front brake pads being at 50 percent wear is a standard maintenance observation for this mileage and suggests routine replacement interval. A buyer should verify the current condition of the front tyres to ensure they have been replaced since the 2024 failure. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arm bushings is advisable, as these are common points of wear on the GLC model. There is no evidence of persistent structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard.
