Known weak points
- X253 OM651 diesel: the injectors and the rear-mounted timing chain are known weak points, demand a complete history
- Airmatic (optional air suspension): watch for leaks and uneven ride height, repairs are expensive
- GLC 300 e plug-in: check battery health and charging history, smaller boot
- X254 48-volt starter-generator: a young, complex system, check for warning lights and completed updates
Verdict: which to buy?
The GLC 220 d is the sensible all-rounder for high mileage, the GLC 300 e for short commutes with home charging. The X254 (from 2022) is the most refined, a well-kept post-facelift X253 is the value pick.
For families after a comfortable premium SUV with all-wheel drive and prestige.
