2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · DA13 AUP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving maintenance trend over the last three years. Following a significant failure in October 2022, the Mercedes-Benz has passed its last three consecutive MOT tests with zero defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and safety issues were addressed effectively. The most recent test in October 2025 at 98,208 miles confirms the car is currently in a clean condition with no outstanding advisories. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage patterns, with 2,369 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,720 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, batteries, and rubber suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end geometry based on the 2022 failure. The offside front wheel was previously fractured and distorted, indicating a past significant impact, while the subsequent inner-edge tyre wear on the rear axle suggested an alignment or camber issue. While these appear resolved in recent clean records, a physical check of the suspension bushes and control arms is necessary to ensure no new wear is causing uneven handling. Given the vehicle's age, a standard inspection of the underbody for corrosion remains prudent practice, though the MOT history has not flagged any structural integrity concerns to date.
