2018 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · 9000 EV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 17 June 2026 at 30,149 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the car maintained a clean record through 2023 and 2024, the most recent test flagged both front tyres as reaching the legal limit with edge wear, indicating that the owner only addresses consumable items once they reach the point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,769 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the data reveals a specific lapse in June 2023. At 18,403 miles, the vehicle failed its test due to a critically worn offside tyre and exposed cords on the nearside front. This failure suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods or been driven only very short distances, which can lead to flat-spotting or aged degradation of rubber components despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely, as the recurring edge wear noted in June 2026 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2025 advisory regarding thin front brake pads at 26,416 miles confirms that the braking system is nearing a service interval. Given the low annual annual mileage, it is also essential to check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that are infrequently used and left to sit.
