2008 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · AV08 DCY

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 110,431 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed the day prior on 15 May 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,135 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and May 2024, where the odometer rose from 83,600 to 97,849 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any new advisories or failures, indicating the car handled the increased load without immediate mechanical degradation. The absence of any recorded advisories since June 2022 is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or failures related to the chassis, which is a positive indicator for a 2008 model. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear points that MOT testers may overlook if they are not yet at a failure threshold. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the condition of the tyre treads and brake pads. Given the clean history, the primary concern is verifying that the lack of recorded defects reflects actual maintenance rather than superficial checks.
