2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · JD09 JEF

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 53,370 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 9 September 2024 test at 52,507 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 53,370 against an August 2009 registration, averaging roughly 3,139 miles per year. The vehicle covered only 860 miles between the August 2023 test at 51,937 miles and the September 2024 test at 52,507 miles, then just 863 miles to the September 2025 test. This low, consistent accumulation points to light use or extended standing periods rather than active daily driving. The DVSA record is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or defects logged on any pass. The two failed entries on 25 August 2023 and 9 September 2024 at 51,937 and 52,507 miles respectively show no defects recorded against them. This pattern typically reflects administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems appear anywhere in the chain. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and likely prolonged idle spells. Damp-prone areas such as sill seams and subframe mounts warrant close checking for corrosion. Verify brake caliper freedom and tyre sidewall condition, as low-mileage cars often suffer flat-spotted tyres and seized handbrake mechanisms from standing.
