2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · AF62 LLZ

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 132,653 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 6 March 2025 at 131,438 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent upkeep by previous owners. Recorded mileage sits at 132,653 against a 14-year lifespan, averaging roughly 9,475 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the October 2022 test at 115,064 miles and the October 2023 pass at 124,630 miles shows about 9,566 miles covered in that year. A failed test on 10 October 2023 at 124,626 miles was followed by a pass one day later at 124,630 miles with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting the failure was administrative or a minor rectifiable item cleared immediately rather than a substantive mechanical fault. The sparse and clean record gives the buyer little to act on from MOT data alone. No corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the advisories. The absence of flagged wear items means previous owners likely addressed consumables before each test rather than letting them accrue. A physical inspection should still confirm structural integrity underneath, given the car is now 14 years old and exposed to UK road salt cycles. Check coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake calipers for binding or seepage not captured in a pass result. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the no-defect claims, as these wear between tests.
