2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Petrol · DS60 ACX

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 89,695 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the October 2024 and October 2023 tests also passed without advisories. The only blemishes are two administrative failures on 29 October 2024 at 85,878 miles and 16 October 2023 at 82,607 miles, both logged with no defects recorded, indicating paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Mileage sits at 89,695 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,606 miles per year. The record shows light, consistent use: 82,607 miles in October 2023, 82,762 miles nine days later, 85,879 miles in October 2024, and 89,695 by October 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Such low totals suggest the car spent long periods idle, which raises the risk of perished rubber components and seized mechanisms even though the test sheet stays clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as standing vehicles commonly develop binding brakes and cracked bushes unseen by a pass-only MOT. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural advisories across the timeline, yet 16-year-old Mercedes bodies warrant a underside check for structural rust around sills and subframes. The duplicated 2024 entries at 85,878 and 85,879 miles point to a quick re-test after the initial failure, implying the owner resolved a non-mechanical matter promptly. Overall, the history implies careful, low-mileage ownership with no recurring wear trends, but dormant storage means consumables like tyres and brake hoses deserve hands-on verification before purchase.
