2012 Mercedes B-Class 1.6L Petrol · CT12 NFZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend across the most recent inspections. The latest test conducted on 7 October 2025 at 42,774 miles passed with zero defects or advisories. This consistency across multiple years suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical or structural issues from reaching a state of failure or concern. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 44,390 miles and the October 2024 test at 30,895 miles, the record shows a significant discrepancy or potential clerical entry error, as the mileage decreased by over thirteen thousand. However, the overall low usage pattern indicates the car likely spent long periods stationary or stored, which generally results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage motorway cars. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must account for the specific risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Cars that sit infrequently often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake seals which do not show wear through mileage alone. An inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on brake discs and calipers due to lack of use, as well as verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for any age-related rust despite the low odometer reading.
