Used car check: Mercedes GLC is TÜV report overall winner 2022

The Mercedes GLC is not particularly cheap as a used car either. But he shows hardly any weaknesses in the main investigations. Basically, the SUV only fails comparatively often in one place.

The GLC is one of the most successful SUVs from Mercedes - one could say in two respects: Because it not only sells well, but is also celebrated as the "Overall Winner 2022" by the "Auto Bild TÜV Report 2022".

The catch: Even used, the bulky compact car from Stuttgart, which is only available with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission, is not a bargain.

Model history

The Mercedes GLC was launched in 2015 as the successor to the polarizing and far edgier GLK. The facelift featured a fresh design, a new generation of four-cylinder engines and standard LED lights instead of halogen. The second generation of the GLC has been announced for autumn 2022.

body variants

Mercedes offers the GLC as a hatchback with five seats and as a coupé.

Dimensions

- Hatchback: 4.66 to 4.68 meters x 1.89 meters x 1.63 to 1.64 meters (L x W x H); Trunk volume: 505 to 1600 liters.

- Coupé: 4.73 meters x 1.89 meters x 1.60 meters (L x W x H); Trunk volume: 500 to 1400 liters.

Strengthen

Whether chassis, lighting or brakes - according to "Auto Bild TÜV Report 2022", the complaint rates for the main vehicle inspection (HU) are usually extremely low. Loss of oil in the engine and transmission is irrelevant, and the GLC usually passes the emissions test.

weaknesses

Basically, the examiners found only one real blunder as an exception to the good overall performance: the axle suspensions, where the complaint rates were three times the average value. Worn brake discs also occur, but only with slightly higher rates.

breakdown behavior

In the ADAC breakdown statistics, the GLC of all years consistently occupies good places - "albeit with low registration numbers," writes the motorists' club. Breakdown areas are not known.

The engine

The GLC F-Cell with fuel cell was available for leasing, the variant plays almost no role on the used car market.
