2019 Mercedes-Benz B 1.3L Petrol · DE61 BES

A consistent record of first-time passes defines the MOT history for this Mercedes-Benz B-Class, culminating in a clear pass on the twentieth of April 2026. Across five consecutive annual tests, the vehicle has avoided any recorded mechanical or structural failures. However, the test history is not entirely spotless, as minor rubber degradation and tyre wear have been noted on two separate occasions, indicating that consumable items require regular monitoring despite the absence of formal test failures. Accumulating fifty-six thousand six hundred and fifty-three miles over its seven-year lifespan places this vehicle on an entirely conventional usage trajectory, averaging roughly eight thousand miles annually. This steady accumulation pattern suggests regular deployment rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or severe commercial strain. Mechanically, this mileage level is standard for a modern compact MPV, meaning that while major drivetrain assemblies should still have substantial operational life remaining, peripheral suspension components and braking systems are now entering a phase where wear and tear naturally begins to manifest. Attention should be directed squarely at the rubber components flagged in the official testing record during any physical inspection or test drive. The most recent examination issued an advisory regarding tyre degradation described as cracking or perishing all round, while an earlier test noted edge wear on the offside front inner tyre. A prospective buyer must closely inspect the sidewalls and tread depth of all four fitted tyres for age-related splitting and uneven wear patterns, which can point to underlying wheel alignment or steering geometry issues. During the dynamic road test, listen carefully for any dull knocks, creaks, or excessive vibration emanating from the front and rear suspension corners when traversing uneven road surfaces, speed humps, or potholes. Check the steering feel for any pulling to one side that might correlate with the previously noted tyre edge wear, and ensure the braking system responds firmly without pedal judder or binding. Verifying that the rear seat belts operate correctly is also prudent, as an earlier test noted they could not be inspected due to the rear seats being stowed during the examination.
