Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers se
When inspecting this specific B-Class, pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues, including cracking/perishing in 2025 and wear on the edges in 2022. Ensure the current set has ample tread and no signs of sidewall cracking.
Given the low mileage, you should also verify that the vehicle has been serviced regularly to prevent seals from drying out. Check the service book for oil changes, as diesel engines require consistent maintenance. Since the most recent MOT noted thin front brake pads, confirm if these have since been replaced or if they still require attention.
As a 1.8L diesel, this B-Class is designed for efficient long-distance running, though fuel economy will vary based on driving style. You should check the specific Euro emission standard to estimate potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz models typically sit in the mid-to-high range compared to mainstream brands. Expect routine costs for items like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in this vehicle's history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and braking components. The 2026 MOT noted thin front brake pads, and previous tests highlighted tyre wear and perishing; ensure these consumables are in good health.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded failures for coil springs or drive shaft joints—which are common issues for this model according to aggregate data—it is still worth checking the suspension for any knocks or rattles during a test drive. Also, inspect the underside for any signs of fluid leaks, which can sometimes occur in low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for periods.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class has covered 30,387 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,171 miles per year for its age. The MOT history shows five recorded tests with no major mechanical failures, though it has faced minor issues regarding tyres and brake pads. The vehicle appears to have been used sparingly, making it an interesting option for those needing a diesel engine without the typical high-mileage wear.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, coil springs, and drive shaft joints.
