2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · EO10 KZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with braking system corrosion. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 111,465 miles passed, it flagged a corroded nearside rear brake pipe covered in grease. This specific defect was also noted back in December 2022, suggesting that while the vehicle is maintained to pass, the underlying corrosion on the hydraulic lines remains a persistent concern rather than a resolved issue. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, such as the 1,708 miles between December 2023 and February 2025, and another 745 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps keep mechanical components like seals and gaskets supple, though it subjects the chassis to age-related component failures. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the nearside rear braking area to determine the extent of the corrosion on the brake pipe. The failure in December 2022 revealed a split offside front CV boot and play in the steering rack inner joints, and although these were repaired to achieve the subsequent pass, the buyer should check for signs of new grease leaks or steeringহীন. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2022 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation.
