2010 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.7L Petrol · GF10 KTC

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, transitioning from mechanical defects to minor cosmetic issues. The most recent test in December 2025 at 94,075 miles resulted in a pass with only minor advisories regarding discoloured rear direction indicators. This specific fault also appeared in the December 2024 test, indicating a persistent but non-hazardous condition that does not affect the structural or mechanical integrity of the vehicle. At 94,075 miles over 16 years, this B-Class averages a low of approximately 5,880 miles per year. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the gap between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components. The data suggests the car has not sat for extended periods, which benefits the condition of fluid seals and brake lines. A physical inspection should focus on the front-end geometry and tyre condition. The December 2023 test at 79,212 miles flagged play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and uneven wear on both front outer tyres. While these were not mentioned in subsequent tests, a buyer must verify that the ball joint was actually replaced and that the wheel alignment was corrected to prevent further premature tyre wear. The recurring discolouration of the rear indicators should be checked for hairline cracks to ensure the light output remains sufficient for night driving.
