2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · BV14 LBA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 14 January 2026 at 139,150 miles. While the record shows a failure just one day prior at 139,148 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that entry suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately without requiring significant mechanical intervention. Since 2023, the car has maintained a consistent record of passing tests without any flagged advisories or recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 12,354 miles, followed by an increase of 22,379 miles in the following year, and another 19,379 miles leading into the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting, which often helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or fuel degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean history of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical for a 139,000-mile Mercedes. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show degradation at this mileage. It is also prudent to check the brake discs for thinning and to inspect the structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion, although the MOT record has not flagged any significant rust issues in previous years.
