2019 Mercedes-Benz B 1.3L Petrol · EC04 AMC

This Mercedes-Benz B has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three years, with every MOT test—including the most recent on 27 December 2025—passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The vehicle’s compliance with all mandatory checks suggests no major mechanical failures or structural weaknesses have gone unaddressed during this period. However, the absence of advisories also means there is no historical documentation of minor issues that may have been resolved between tests, leaving some uncertainty about the condition of high-wear components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. The recorded mileage of 21,925 miles over approximately seven years—roughly 3,132 miles annually—indicates exceptionally light usage for a vehicle of this age. The longest gap between tests occurred between June 2022 and May 2023, spanning 11 months with no movement on the odometer, which could imply prolonged storage. While this reduces wear on critical systems, it may also mean some fluids (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) have not been refreshed according to manufacturer intervals. The most recent MOT was conducted just eight months ago, which is well within the standard 12-month cycle, ensuring the vehicle was tested before its next due date. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to their susceptibility to fatigue over time, even with low mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and the subframe, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation in damp conditions. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are often the first to appear in vehicles with irregular usage patterns.
