2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · ML62 AEW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-11 at 109,059 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 14 months. Previous tests from 2025-02-21 (101,956 miles) and 2024-02-14 (96,024 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a conflicting entry on 2024-02-14 shows a failure at the same mileage, though no defects were logged, raising questions about data accuracy. Despite this, the absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies the vehicle has remained roadworthy. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,790 miles annually. Gaps between MOTs of approximately 12 months reflect standard intervals, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged inactivity. The 2023-02-07 test at 88,499 miles also passed without defects, reinforcing a pattern of minimal wear. However, the 2024-02-14 failure entry—despite no recorded issues—suggests potential administrative inconsistencies, though this does not directly impact the vehicle’s mechanical condition. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time in older models. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these often emerge gradually. Corrosion in the exhaust system or underbody should also be checked, as moisture exposure can accelerate rust in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, these areas remain susceptible to age-related deterioration and require physical verification.
