2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2.1L Diesel · T88 WBB

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a trend toward a completely clean bill of health in the most recent three years. While earlier tests in 2021 and 2022 flagged tyre wear on both the front and rear axles, the most recent inspection on 10 November 2025 was completed without any defects or advisories. This indicates a stable mechanical state regarding the specific components evaluated during the annual MOT process. The vehicle has covered 125,729 miles over approximately ten years, averaging roughly 12,573 miles per annum. This is a high annual accumulation rate for this class of vehicle. Such usage typically results in accelerated wear on high-stress consumables, including suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain mounts, as well as increased fatigue on the engine and transmission components compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the previous advisories regarding tyre wear on the edges of both the front and rear tyres, a thorough inspection of the current tyre tread depth and wear patterns is necessary. During a test drive, the buyer should pay close attention to the steering alignment and feel for any pulling to one side or unusual vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate underlying alignment issues or worn suspension linkages that may have contributed to the previous tyre wear. Due to the high total mileage, the test drive should further focus on the integrity of the suspension and braking systems. Listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could signal worn bushings or coil springs. The brake pedal should be checked for consistent pressure and an absence of judder under braking, which would indicate warped discs or binding calipers, common wear points for a vehicle with this level of usage.
