MERCEDES-BENZ B-CLASS2014 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025 at 84,507 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a minor failure in mid-2023. While the 2023 test identified a fractured offside rear coil spring and a loose exhaust heatshield, the subsequent passes without recorded defects indicate that these specific faults were addressed and the vehicle has maintained a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 13,000 miles between June 2022 and July 2023, followed by a more conservative usage of roughly 3,500 to 4,500 miles per year. This lower annual mileage suggests light use, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain and braking components, though periods of standing can sometimes increase the risk of rubber degradation or corrosion compared to high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry during a physical inspection, as the previous coil spring failure in 2023 indicates these components may be reaching the end of their service life. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 explicitly note that undertrays were fitted, restricting a full inspection of the underbody. It is essential to perform a visual check of the chassis for structural corrosion or rust around the suspension mounting points that the tester may not have fully accessed due to these protective shields.
