2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 1.9L Diesel · SM70 ABO

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 44,160 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in December 2024 at 35,738 miles and January 2024 at 27,462 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition across its four-year MOT span. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for the age. The car covered roughly 8,300 miles between the January 2024 test at 27,462 miles and the December 2024 test at 35,738 miles, then added about 8,400 miles to reach 44,160 miles by January 2026. This equates to near-average annual use of 8,832 miles. The record is sparse but clean, with no gaps suggesting prolonged standing or aggressive accumulation that would accelerate wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or drivetrain seals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given Mercedes SUVs of this era can suffer from premature subframe and mounting point rust where road salt exposure occurs. The clean MOT history means no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emission failures were flagged, yet testers often miss early bush degradation without strip examination. Verify the January 2026 fail with no defects was a DVSA clerical error and not a withdrawn test. Confirm service history matches the recorded mileages. Check tyre sidewall dates and wiper blade condition as minor consumables the MOT would not routinely fail at this age.
