2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · FG10 SPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in its latest test in October 2025 at 76,684 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the mechanical and cosmetic defects noted in previous years have been addressed, resulting in no recorded defects during the most recent inspection. This suggests that the current or immediate previous owner is proactive in rectifying issues before they escalate into test failures. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,684 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 4,800 miles. This low-mile profile is consistent across the records, showing a 5,562-mile gap between October 2024 and 2025, and another 6,302 miles between 2023 and 2024. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, it often causes rubber materials to degrade through age rather than friction, which is evidenced by specific failures noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the October 2023 test flagged a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. Although this was passed later, rubber-based components like bushes and boots are prone to cracking on low-mileage vehicles of this age. The 2024 advisory regarding a perished nearside rear tyre further confirms that the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, necessitating a thorough check of sidewall integrity on all tyres regardless of tread depth. The exhaust emissions failure in October 2022 at 59,647 miles indicates a past issue with fuel mixture or sensor health. Since the vehicle has since passed two consecutive tests, this issue appears resolved, but the buyer should monitor for increased smoke or poor catalytic converter performance. The recurring mention of loose mirrors in 2023 and 2024 suggests a minor oversight in external trim maintenance, but does not indicate a deeper structural risk to the vehicle.
