2008 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · DA08 MWL

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 5 November 2025 at 116,137 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 110,318 miles on 5 November 2024. The owner has kept the car to a test-clear standard across the last three annual cycles, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,452 miles per year against the vehicle's 18-year life, with the record showing 109,364 miles in November 2023, 110,318 miles in November 2024, and 116,137 miles in November 2025. The step from 110,318 to 116,137 over twelve months is the largest single-year movement in the supplied data, yet still below the long-term average. The history is sparse and clean, showing only two failed tests on the same days as passes in 2023 and 2024 with no defects recorded, which points to administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable and structural items that MOT advisories would normally surface but here were absent. At 116,137 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry eighteen years of age regardless of low use, and prolonged standing can accelerate corrosion on subframes and sills even when the tester notes none. The twin same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2023 and 2024 suggest the car may have been presented without prior preparation, so verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition match a genuinely cared-for example. Given the absence of recorded faults, the evidence implies a lightly used car with basic statutory upkeep rather than enthusiast maintenance. Inspect for perished rubber components, binding calipers from disuse, and hidden structural rust before purchase, as the MOT record alone offers no insight beyond the presented test-day condition.
