2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.1L Diesel · WU16 AEN

The 2026‑07‑22 MOT at 22,786 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, if not slightly improving, trend since the previous test in June 2025. In the June 2025 test at 21,301 miles the only fault was an inoperative off‑side rear registration lamp, which was rectified before the July 2026 inspection. With a 2016 model now ten years old, the accumulated mileage of 22,786 equates to roughly 2,279 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The record shows a gradual increase: from 9,005 miles in February 2020 to 11,214 miles by March 2021 (2,209 miles in 13 months), then to 14,581 miles by March 2022 (3,367 miles in a year), followed by a slower rise to 16,838 miles in March 2023 (2,257 miles) and a modest jump to 21,301 miles by June 2025 (4,463 miles in 15 months) before the final 1,485‑mile increase to the current odometer reading. The spacing between tests remains regular, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that would accelerate wear on suspension, brakes or drivetrain components. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring registration lamp fault, which suggests potential wiring or bulb degradation, and verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for any binding or excessive play. Inspection of the brake discs for scoring, the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion, and a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust are also advisable, given the vehicle’s age and the absence of major mechanical failures in the MOT history.
