2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 AMG Line Prem D 4M A 1.9L Diesel · X30 LAR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 June 2026, though it carries an advisory regarding the offside rear tyre. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable in terms of pass rates, but there is a recurring pattern of tyre wear and emerging suspension wear that requires attention. While the vehicle consistently passes, the shift from a clean record in 2024 to multiple advisories in 2025 and 2026 suggests the car is entering a phase where standard wear and tear components are beginning to degrade. With a recorded mileage of 44,658 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged around 7,443 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a premium executive SUV, suggesting a balanced blend of urban and motorway driving. There are no indications of excessive standing or rapid mileage accumulation, meaning the drivetrain and engine components should be in a condition consistent with average use, provided the service intervals have been strictly adhered to in the vehicle service record. A primary concern for a prospective buyer is the recurring evidence of inner edge tyre wear across both the front and rear axles, coupled with the 2025 advisories for play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints. This combination strongly indicates a misalignment of the wheel tracking or deteriorating suspension geometry. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds coming from the front suspension when traversing uneven surfaces or during low speed manoeuvring. You should physically inspect the inner shoulders of all four tyres for uneven wear, as this will likely necessitate a full four wheel alignment and the potential replacement of the front lower arms to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, the history notes a missing brake pin safety clip and minor windscreen damage. While these are minor, they highlight the need for a thorough visual inspection of the braking system for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Ensure the windscreen damage has not progressed into a larger crack that could fail a future test. Given the age and mileage, you should also verify the condition of the brake discs for corrosion and check the service history for evidence of transmission fluid changes, as the 4MATIC system and automatic gearbox require specific maintenance to ensure long term reliability.
