2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · KW14 AET

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-19 at 25,394 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an earlier test on 2025-04-17 at 25,360 miles showed a failure with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error or unrecorded remedial work. Prior tests from 2024-04-19 (16,764 miles) and 2023-04-12 (12,833 miles) also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns were flagged in the history, implying the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. The mileage progression reveals a significant jump from 12,655 miles in 2022 to 16,764 miles in 2024, an increase of 4,109 miles over 22 months, followed by 8,630 miles added in 13 months to reach 25,394 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests intensified use in recent years, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. However, the absence of advisories or failures in the MOT records up to 2025-04-19 implies these elements have not yet deteriorated to a critical level. A buyer should verify the condition of the braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, as sudden mileage increases can expose latent issues. Inspect suspension components for wear, given the car’s age and recent usage patterns. Check for corrosion around the chassis and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles stored for long periods may develop rust in hidden areas. The lack of recorded defects does not guarantee fault-free operation, so a professional inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
