2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · J30 HWS

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend following recent minor mechanical repairs. The most recent test on 6 May 2026 at 43,441 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that issues identified in previous years have been successfully rectified. While the car experienced failures in consecutive years, the return to a clean certificate suggests the current ownership is responding promptly to safety-related requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,950 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the record, growing from 9,578 miles in 2018 to 43,441 miles in 2026. Such low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases risks related to rubber-based components. The 2022 test at 21,284 miles highlighted this by flagging tyre cracking, a common symptom of age age rather than distance driven. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly due to recurring anti-roll bar joint failures. The vehicle failed at 33,724 miles due to a missing dust cover and again at 39,704 miles with a perished cover allowing dirt ingress. While fixed, the frequency of these faults suggests the need to check ball joints and bushings thoroughly to ensure no further play has begun to develop. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as these components often degrade when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
