Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the low annual mileage for a diesel engine, it is important to verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly to prevent sludge build-up. Check for evidence of regular use, as cars that sit for long periods can develop different issues than those in constant use.
Negotiate based on the condition of the tyres. The MOT history shows a pattern of 'damaged, cracking or perishing' tyres on the nearside rear between 2024 and 2025, suggesting the rubber may have aged rather than worn down through use. Ensure a fresh set of tyres has been fitted if the rubber still appears perished.
The 1.8L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for longer commutes. Insurance and road tax will be aligned with 2015 diesel emissions standards for this engine size.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than for budget brands, though the low mileage on this specific example may reduce the immediate need for major component replacements. Expect typical costs for consumables and annual servicing.
Pay close attention to the tyres, specifically the rear pair. The MOT records from May 2024 and May 2025 both highlighted cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre; verify that these have been replaced and that the rubber is supple across all four corners.
While this specific vehicle has not failed for these items, model aggregate data indicates that coil springs and drive shaft joints are common failure points for the B-Class. A professional inspection should include a check of the suspension and drivetrain for any signs of premature wear or leaking boots.
This black 2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class diesel has covered 48,685 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record, with one failure in 2023 due to tyre wear and a bulb, and a few subsequent tyre advisories. The most recent test in May 2026 was completed with no defects recorded.
The B-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 80.2%, with the most frequent failures relating to tyres, coil springs, and drive shaft joints.
