2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB 200 AMG Line Premium Auto 1.3L Petrol · WN71 LNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. In the most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 17,545 miles, the car failed due to multiple tyre defects and ineffective wiper blades. While it passed the immediate re-test, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At five years old, the recorded mileage of 17,545 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The gap between the December 2024 test at 13,844 miles and the December 2025 test shows the vehicle covered roughly 3,700 miles in that period. This low usage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it increases the risk of degradation in rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking on the nearside rear tyre noted in the 2025 tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre set, as the record consistently flags low tread depth, edge wear, and sidewall cracking. The repeated wear on the edges of the front tyres indicates a potential alignment issue or incorrect inflation pressure that remains unaddressed. Additionally, the windscreen wiper assembly should be checked for perished rubber or motor strain-related failure, as the wipers were specifically flagged for failing to clear the glass effectively. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for flat spots on the tyres and brake corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle sits for long periods.
