2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Petrol · X555 AAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 23 January 2026 at 126,794 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of reactive repairs, as the owner consistently addresses faults immediately following a failure. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history of failures in both January 2025 and January 2026 indicates that the vehicle frequently falls into an out-of-test state or is only rectified when prompted by the annual testing cycle rather than through a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,925 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 111,591 miles and January 2025 at 120,079 miles, the car covered 8,488 miles in nearly eleven months. The more recent interval of 6,715 miles between the January 2025 and 2026 tests suggests a slight decrease in usage. This relatively low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based suspension components degrading, which is common in older Mercedes-Benz models. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record does not specify the exact causes of the two recent failures. Given the vehicle failed twice within days of passing, the inspector must check for worn control arm bushes, leaking dampers, or binding brake calipers that may have triggered these results. The age of the vehicle also necessitates a close look for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as these areas are prone to rust decay on the B-Class regardless of the recorded mileage.
