2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · E15 ADJ

The vehicle is currently rated as roadworthy, but the maintenance trend is deteriorating significantly over the last two years. The most recent test on 2026-02-19 resulted in a failed MOT, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained in a standard condition since the previous inspection. This failure in the September 2023 test at 53,391 miles suggests a persistent lack of regular servicing, likely due to the vehicle's age and the specific faults recorded in the 2026 records. The failure in the September 2023 test at 53,391 miles is the most critical data point for assessing the current state of the vehicle's mechanical health. The mileage accumulation has been substantial, reaching 63,945 miles at the 2026-02-19 test. Given the vehicle's age of approximately 17 years, this mileage rate is concerning, as it implies rapid wear on critical components. The gap between the 2025-02-20 test at 60,847 miles and the 2023-02-28 test at 53,391 miles is notable, suggesting that the vehicle has experienced a period of slow accumulation of wear since the 2025 inspection, which contrasts sharply with the severe damage noted in the 2026 record. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on critical systems. The 2026-02-19 MOT reveals recurring issues such as corrosion of the fuel pipe and brake pipes, which may indicate a lack of proper lubrication or oil changes. The 2026-02-19 failed test also highlights binding rear brakes, a serious mechanical risk that requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the 2026-02-19 failure includes a failed rear direction indicator, which could be due to binding calipers or a failing suspension bushing. The 2026-02-19 test shows that the front tyre has a cut but not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, suggesting that the tyre wear pattern is inconsistent and may indicate that the vehicle has been used in conditions that accelerate this type of wear.
