2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · TAZ 6254

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 66,301 miles passed with no defects recorded, following four consecutive annual passes from February 2023 through February 2025. The vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the entire five-year MOT history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 56,084 miles at the 23 February 2023 test, rising to 59,601 by 7 February 2024, 62,838 by 6 February 2025, and 66,301 by 12 February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,200 to 3,500 miles per year, below the 5,100-mile annual average noted for the vehicle's age. The clean test history with no gaps suggests the car was presented for timely annual testing and not subjected to prolonged unroadworthy operation. A single anomaly requires clarification before purchase. The DVSA record lists both a fail and a pass on 12 February 2026 at identical mileage of 66,301, yet records no defects against either entry. This typically indicates an administrative reversal or a documentation error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. The buyer should obtain the full VOSA test certificate and confirm with the issuing garage that no concealed fault existed on the failed attempt. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, no specific component failure is flagged by the data. A low-mileage car of this age may still suffer from perished rubber components, seized calipers, or structural rust through standing rather than use. A physical inspection should check subframe integrity, tyre sidewall cracking, and fluid degradation, as these fall outside MOT detection thresholds until critical.
