2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · FG16 KFF

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 55,774 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the entire documented history indicates a vehicle that has remained structurally sound and mechanically compliant. This consistent record suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a high standard, addressing wear items proactively before they escalated into failures. The recorded mileage of 55,774 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 5,577 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression reveals a steady, gradual accumulation rather than sudden spikes. Between the 2022 test at 42,065 miles and the 2023 test at 44,875 miles, the car covered 2,810 miles. This increased slightly to 3,707 miles between 2024 and 2025, before dropping to 2,735 miles over the most recent year. Such low annual usage typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of standing can sometimes cause issues like binding calipers or perished rubber components. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components that rarely trigger a failure but suffer from low-mileage deterioration. Examine the tyre sidewalls for date codes and cracking, as older rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for any signs of binding, common issues when a vehicle sits unused for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion, and verify the exhaust system for any early signs of rust. The lack of advisories in the history is a strong positive, but a hands-on assessment will confirm whether the mechanical integrity matches the paper trail.
