2008 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.7L Petrol · EY58 JWD

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance history, with all MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent test on 2025-08-09 at 34,387 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results from 2024-08-10 (33,442 miles) and earlier. This consistency suggests the owner prioritized regular servicing, maintaining the car’s roadworthiness over 18 years. No recurring faults or escalating problems were recorded, indicating a lack of significant mechanical deterioration. The mileage of 34,387 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 1,910 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. MOT records show gradual annual increases, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps between tests. The 2021-08-17 test at 30,622 miles and subsequent 2022-08-06 test at 31,270 miles reveal a steady 650-mile annual rise, consistent with minimal usage. This pattern suggests the vehicle has not experienced heavy wear, though low mileage could mask issues related to component aging or fluid degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. The brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the car has been stored for extended periods. Structural rust, especially in the underbody or chassis, should be checked, as older vehicles may develop hidden corrosion. While the MOT history shows no immediate concerns, these areas require physical verification to confirm the car’s long-term reliability.
