2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · KM09 VYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 153,088 miles which resulted in no recorded defects. This clean result indicates a positive trend following a single failure in February 2025 that was immediately rectified to achieve a passing grade. The lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing mechanical and safety requirements rather than allowing minor faults to accumulate. At 17 years old, the recorded 153,088 miles represent an average of approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use with intervals of roughly 2,500 to 3,300 miles between the annual tests from 2023 through 2026. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components, though it places standard-expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for the Mercedes B-Class at this mileage. While the MOT record is currently clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check of the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear suspension mounting. Given the mileage, an inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue is advisable, as is a check of the brake calipers to ensure there is no binding or uneven wear that might not have been flagged during a stationary test.
