2012 MERCEDES-BENZ B180 BLUEEFFICIENCY SPORT CDI1.8L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on March 13, 2026, 74,888 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the single failure recorded one day prior at 74,862 miles resulted in no documented defects, suggesting the failure may have been an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately without leaving a mechanical trail. Since 2022, the car has passed consecutive inspections without advisories, indicating a high standard of upkeep by previous owners. At fourteen years of age, the recorded mileage of 74,888 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,349 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 7,023-mile gap recorded between April 2022 and May 2023, and another 12,623 miles between May 2023 and November 2024. This low mileage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-run vehicles, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and brake seals. Because the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion issues, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear rather than mileage and tear. A buyer should check for dry rot on the tyres and perished wiper blades, which are common on older vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. The inspector should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust if the brakes are not used frequently to clear the metal.
