Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the consumables. The MOT history shows a history of front brake pads wearing thin in both 2023 and 2024, and tyre wear issues in 2022. Ensure that the current brake pads and discs have sufficient life remaining and that the tyres are not showing the edge-wear patterns noted in previous tests.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the most recent brake service and tyre replacements. Given the 2022 advisories regarding tyre perishing and uneven wear, check the current tread depth and look for any signs of misalignment or suspension issues that might have caused the previous edge-wear problems.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be higher than a diesel equivalent, particularly regarding fuel economy in stop-start traffic. You should expect moderate fuel consumption typical for a premium SUV of this size.
Insurance groups for the GLC tend to be mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on your specific profile. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles are generally higher than mainstream brands, particularly for parts like brake discs and tyres, which have appeared as recurring items in this vehicle's history.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT records for 2023 and 2024 specifically flag front brake pads wearing thin and discs being worn. It is essential to verify if these components were replaced following those advisories.
Additionally, inspect the tyres thoroughly. The 2022 MOT history noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. Check the current set for even wear to ensure that any previous alignment issues have been rectified, and look for any signs of age-related perishing as noted in the 2022 record.
Registered in December 2018, this black 2.0L petrol GLC has covered 43,602 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The mileage is notably lower than the model average of 8,767 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of consumables needing attention, specifically tyres and brake pads, but no major mechanical failures have been recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 89.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and brake pads.
