2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 AMG Line Prem D 4M A 1.9L Diesel · WD22 FHA

The most recent MOT, carried out on 25 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any issues flagged in the previous year have been rectified or have not progressed. The 2025 MOT showed advisories concerning front‑tyre edge wear and moderate wear on both front and rear brake discs, but no failures were recorded. The transition from advisories to a clean result suggests a stable maintenance regime and an improvement in the vehicle’s condition over the past twelve months. At 97,200 miles the 2022 Mercedes‑Benz GLC 300 AMG Line has accumulated roughly 24,300 miles per annum, which is considerably above the typical UK average of 10‑12 000 miles per year for a vehicle of this class. Such a high annual mileage points to extensive use, likely involving frequent motorway travel and possibly spirited driving, which accelerates wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage, so the wear pattern is expected to be consistent rather than the result of long periods of inactivity that can cause corrosion or battery degradation. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front tyres, inspecting the tread for uneven outer‑edge wear that may indicate mis‑alignment, incorrect camber settings, or worn steering components. During a test drive, listen for a wandering sensation or a pulling tendency to one side, and feel for any vibration through the steering wheel that could be a sign of tyre or suspension irregularities. The brake discs, while only moderately worn at the last inspection, will likely be approaching the end of their service life given the mileage; check for any pulsation or shudder when applying the brakes, and verify that the pads are not excessively thin. It is prudent to ask for recent brake pad thickness measurements and to confirm whether the discs have been resurfaced or are due for replacement within the next few thousand miles. Beyond the tyre and brake considerations, examine the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs for any signs of cracking, leakage of oil from the shock absorbers, or looseness in the ball joints. Verify that the 12‑volt battery terminals are clean and that the battery holds a charge appropriate for a vehicle of this age, as high‑mileage cars often experience increased electrical load. Finally, ensure that the service history shows regular oil, filter, and coolant changes at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals, and inspect the under‑body for any corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and exhaust mounts, which can develop more rapidly on a vehicle that has been driven heavily over several years.
