2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · AY14 VPP

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate from 2025-09-25 at 121,370 miles. This result followed a history of recurring advisories, particularly concerning tyre wear and brake pipe condition. The most recent test flagged offside and nearside tyres worn close to the legal limit, indicating a need for immediate replacement, alongside corrosion and grease ingress on both front and rear brake pipes. This pattern suggests a maintenance approach focused on passing minimum requirements rather than proactive component replacement. The mileage accumulation between 2023-09-23 and 2025-09-25 is relatively consistent, averaging approximately 10,114 miles per year over the last two years. However, the history shows a clear trend of component failure. The 2024-09-19 test recorded two separate issues regarding the offside front suspension arm ball joint play and the severe deterioration of the anti-roll bar dust cover, which led to a subsequent failure on the same date. This sequence of advisories highlights ongoing concerns regarding the suspension mounting points and protective components. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly for signs of wear on the ball joints and anti-roll bar linkage, as these components have been flagged repeatedly. The previous failures on the front suspension suggest potential instability or wear that requires attention. Additionally, the history of tyre issues, including separation and exposed cords recorded in 2023, indicates a need to check the structural integrity of the remaining tyres. The corrosion observed on the brake pipes also warrants close inspection to ensure no underlying structural compromise exists.
