Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol B-Class, verify that the brake pipe issue noted in the 2024 MOT has been professionally rectified and not just cleaned, as the record indicated it was 'covered in grease or other material'. Given the 2026 advisory regarding the front tyre being worn on the edge, check the wheel alignment/tracking to ensure even tyre wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the braking system and suspension. While the MOT history is relatively stable, the model aggregate data suggests shock absorbers and drive shaft joints are common failure points for this class, so listen for knocks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group for a Mercedes-Benz of this era. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but as a petrol model, it avoids the higher tax complexities of older diesels.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than mainstream brands due to parts pricing. Expect typical servicing costs to be higher than a standard hatchback, though the relatively low mileage may mean fewer heavy component replacements are needed in the immediate term.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and the underside of the vehicle. The 2024 MOT failure regarding a corroded nearside rear brake pipe suggests you should look for signs of surface rust or fluid leaks around the rear brake lines.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The most recent MOT in January 2026 flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge; this is a strong indicator that you should check the suspension components and wheel alignment. Finally, keep an eye on the shock absorbers and drive shafts, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model type across the wider dataset.
This 2011 silver Mercedes-Benz B-Class has covered 65,102 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,131 miles per year. The MOT history shows five recorded tests with only two specific defects noted: a corroded brake pipe in 2024 and a worn front tyre in 2026. Overall, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record over the last five years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common issues involving tyres, shock absorbers, and drive shaft joints.
