2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · CU60 VPX

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at the most recent test. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 14 January 2026 at 59,680 miles. A failed test was recorded on the same day at 59,679 miles with no defects listed, likely indicating an administrative retest or a minor rectification before the subsequent pass. The complete absence of recorded defects across the entire history indicates a consistent pattern of basic mechanical upkeep, with no recurring structural or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation remains low and highly consistent. Between 22 March 2023 at 51,919 miles and 14 January 2026 at 59,680 miles, the car covered 7,761 miles over nearly three years, averaging roughly 2,587 miles annually. This aligns with the vehicle's overall average of approximately 3,730 miles per year since new. The steady, gradual accumulation suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. No sudden spikes or irregular gaps appear in the record, pointing to a predictable ownership pattern. Despite the flawless MOT record, a 16-year-old vehicle with low mileage requires a careful physical inspection. Extended periods of standing can cause perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and degraded tyres with sidewall cracking, even if tread depths remain legal. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyre sidewalls and the rubber suspension components for age-related deterioration. The exhaust system and underbody must be checked for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture accumulation in the exhaust and surface rust on brake discs from short journeys. Verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes remains essential, as low usage does not exempt older steel components from corrosion.
