2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · LC62 AEO

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 85,279 miles, but the tester flagged front tyre tread at the legal limit, edge‑wear on the off‑side rear tyre, and scored front brake discs. The pattern shows a generally stable maintenance record, with recurring tyre wear and brake‑disc wear addressed each year, while the earlier 2025 engine MIL and SRS faults were remedied before the subsequent pass. Mileage averages roughly 6,100 miles per year, which is low for a fourteen‑year‑old Mercedes‑B‑Class. Between December 2016 and November 2018 the odometer rose from 25,960 to 40,975 miles, a 15,000‑mile increase over less than two years, then settled into annual increments of 3,500‑9,200 miles. No large, unexplained gaps appear, indicating consistent usage rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should verify that all four tyres meet the 1.6 mm tread minimum and inspect the front tyre sidewalls for the reported outer‑wall damage. Visual and tactile checks of the front brake discs for scoring, and measurement of pad thickness, are advisable given the repeated “thin pad” advisories. Confirm that the engine management light and the supplementary restraint system indicator are extinguished, and listen for any abnormal engine noises that might hint at an unresolved fault. Finally, a walk‑around for corrosion on suspension mounting points, wheel‑arch liners, and the chassis will confirm that no hidden structural degradation has been overlooked.
