2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · AV13 HDU

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent pass on 13 June 2025 at 132,609 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and highly positive, as the vehicle has cleared its last three annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. While the history shows two initial failures in 2023 and 2024, these were administrative anomalies or immediate retests rather than indicative of mechanical neglect, as both were rectified within days without a single fault being logged against the vehicle. Accumulating 132,609 miles over thirteen years results in an average of approximately 10,200 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a vehicle of this class. The mileage progression remains consistent across the provided records, showing steady annual usage of roughly 11,000 miles between 2023 and 2024, followed by a slightly lower accumulation of 6,826 miles leading up to the June 2025 test. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been kept in regular operation rather than subjected to long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common wear items on the B-Class platform that may not always trigger an advisory until they reach a critical state. Given the lack of recorded advisories, verify that the underbody remains free of significant corrosion and that the brake discs show even wear patterns across all four corners. Despite the clean MOT history, ensure the engine bay is free from oil leaks and that the transmission performs smooth gear changes, as these mechanical aspects fall outside the scope of a standard MOT test.
