Our Verdict
A functional high-mileage example of the
Prospective buyers should scrutinize the service history to ensure the 1461cc diesel engine has been serviced at regular intervals, given it has covered nearly 120,000 miles. Pay close attention to the records for the February 2025 repairs to ensure the fractured rear coil springs were replaced with quality parts.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage relative to the model average and the evidence of recurring tyre and brake issues. Ensure that any remaining advisories from previous tests have been formally addressed and documented.
The 1.5L diesel engine is geared toward fuel efficiency, making it suitable for longer commutes. However, maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz of this age and mileage can be higher than average, particularly for suspension components and braking systems.
Annual costs will include the diesel fuel, road tax based on its 2016 emissions bracket, and insurance. Given the mileage and brand, typical annual expenditure for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance is estimated to be between £1,200 and £1,600.
Carefully inspect the rear suspension, specifically the coil springs, as both the nearside and offside rear springs were recorded as fractured or broken in February 2025. This is a known weak point for the model and warrants a physical check for any new signs of stress or corrosion.
Check the condition and tread depth of all tyres, as this vehicle has a history of failures and advisories for worn or torn tyres in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Additionally, check the brake pads, which have been flagged as wearing thin in multiple MOT tests (January 2024 and February 2025).
This grey 2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class has covered 119,490 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures related to tyre integrity, brake wear, and the replacement of both rear coil springs in early 2025. It offers the utility of a diesel B-Class but carries the typical wear associated with its high mileage.
The B-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 80.2%, with common failures frequently linked to tyres, coil springs, and drive shaft joints.
