2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB 200 AMG Line Auto 1.3L Petrol · GY22 YBK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards at that time. When reviewing the overall maintenance trend, the history appears stable. Although an advisory was issued in June 2025 regarding tyre perishing and damage across all four tyres, the subsequent clean MOT suggests that these issues were either rectified through tyre replacement or the condition had not progressed to a point of failure. The vehicle has covered 20,864 miles over its four-year lifespan, representing an average annual usage of approximately 5,216 miles. This is considered low mileage for a Mercedes-Benz GLB, suggesting the vehicle has likely been used for short journeys or has spent significant periods stationary. While lower mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components, it introduces specific risks associated with infrequent use, such as the degradation of rubber components and the potential for fluid stagnation. During your inspection, you should pay particular attention to the condition of the tyres. Despite the clean 2026 MOT, the previous advisory for perishing means you must manually inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or dry rot, which can occur due to age rather than tread wear. On your test drive, listen for any irregular vibrations or rhythmic thumping sounds that might indicate tyre flat-spotting from long periods of standing. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and check for any signs of binding calipers, which can happen when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear surface oxidation. You should also verify that time-based servicing has been strictly adhered to, as low-mileage vehicles require oil and fluid changes based on the calendar rather than just interval distance. Check the service book for evidence of annual oil changes and brake fluid replacements to prevent moisture contamination. It is also prudent to test the 12V battery health and ensure the air conditioning system is operational, as seals can perish if the system is not cycled regularly. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of weeping from seals or suspension bushes that may have hardened due to age and lack of movement.
