2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · KM14 AEN

The most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 72,505 miles resulted in a pass, giving the car a valid certificate until late August 2026. Compared with the earlier test on 19 August 2025 at 72,419 miles which failed due to a cracked windscreen affecting the driver’s view, the vehicle has moved from a fail to a pass after the windscreen was replaced or repaired. The persistent notes of frayed front seat belts and worn, pitted brake discs appear in both tests, indicating those issues have not been resolved. Overall the maintenance trend shows stable wear on the braking surfaces and seat belts, with the windscreen problem having worsened then been corrected. Mileage has risen steadily from 36,932 miles in March 2017 to the current 72,505 miles, averaging roughly four thousand miles per year, which aligns with the expected use for a twelve‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz B‑Class. There are no large gaps in the testing history; the interval between the September 2024 pass at 70,733 miles and the August 2025 pass at 72,505 miles shows about eighteen hundred miles accumulated in eleven months, consistent with regular use. The record shows a consistent upward trend without sudden jumps that might indicate prolonged storage or odometer tampering. A buyer should examine the front seat belts for any fraying or damage to the webbing, as this has been flagged repeatedly. The front and rear brake discs should be inspected for scoring, pitting or excessive wear, and the rear brake pads measured for remaining thickness. The windscreen must be checked for any chips or cracks that could impair vision, especially given the previous failure caused by a crack affecting the driver’s view. Front and rear lighting units, including stop lamps, direction indicators and reversing lamps, ought to be tested to ensure they operate correctly, since earlier faults were recorded in those areas. Finally, the tyres should be viewed for cuts, exposed cords or uneven wear, as similar issues appeared in earlier tests.
