CarHunch analysed 269 real MOT records for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Glc 220 D 4matic Amg Line Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This GLC 220 D has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 42.4%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which is a serious reliability red flag for a buyer. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, and when failures do occur they're rare at 0.03 per vehicle on average, suggesting issues tend to be minor rather than structural.
At a median mileage of 46,134 for a five-year-old car, these vehicles are running lower miles than typical, yet still struggling through their tests—pointing to specific design or maintenance weaknesses rather than wear-related wear-out. Before committing to one of these, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the systems that are actually failing (the data doesn't break down which components), and budget for regular specialist servicing to catch problems before they become MOT fails.
