2014 MERCEDES-BENZ B-CLASS1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clear MOT pass on 9 July 2025 at 67,080 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last four annual inspections indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and diligent ownership. While the 5 July 2024 record shows a failed test followed immediately by a pass on the same day, this is likely a clerical or administrative correction rather than a mechanical failure, as no specific faults were logged. With an average annual accumulation of approximately 5,590 miles, the total mileage of 67,080 over twelve years is notably low. This suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short, intermittent journeys rather than sustained motorway driving. While low mileage often preserves the drivetrain, it can occasionally lead to premature degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, if the car has spent extended periods standing idle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from lack of use. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often exhibit binding calipers due to infrequent operation. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, which can occur on older tyres even when tread depth remains within legal limits. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the exhaust system and check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox, as these are common indicators of a vehicle that has not been exercised regularly.
