2017 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · FN67 BVR

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 74,400 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner successfully addressed critical mechanical failures identified in the previous year. Since the failure in early 2025, the car has passed without any recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the immediate safety-critical systems have been maintained to an acceptable standard for now. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 38,138 miles in February 2023 to 47,296 miles in early 2024, and finally reaching 74,400 miles by the most recent 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which helps prevent the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with low-age Mercedes-Benz models. A buyer should focus specifically on the rear braking system during a physical inspection. The February 2025 failure due to leaks in both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes indicates a potential issue with hydraulic line corrosion or fitting failure. While these were repaired, a close check for any signs of fluid weeping or corrosion along the lines is necessary to ensure the repair was thorough. Additionally, the previous failure for rear tyre cuts reaching the cords suggests that the buyer should inspect the current sidewalls for impact damage or uneven wear that might indicate suspension alignment issues.
