2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.1L Diesel · EJ65 XKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in December 2025 at 72,157 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses safety-critical failures immediately after they occur. While the car failed on December 15, 2025, due to worn rear brake discs, thin inner pads, and perished rear tyres, the fact that it passed the very following day indicates that these specific consumable and safety items were rectified promptly to meet DVSA standards. At 72,157 miles over eleven years, the car has averaged approximately 6,560 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 9,500 miles driven between December 2024 and December 2025, and approximately 7,600 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often causes premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the 2023 failure highlighted a compromised front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. Although this was repaired, a physical inspection should check for signs of further tearing in other rubber bushes and ball joints to prevent future failures. The 2025 failure regarding perished rear tyres also indicates age-related rubber degradation; therefore, the state of all four tyres should be evaluated to ensure no uneven wear or hidden cracking remains from the previous replacement cycle. The collision prevention assist message noted in 2023 should also be verified as resolved to ensure the sensor fault does not recur.
