2017 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.6L Petrol · LF67 UFA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a clean pass on 15 July 2025 at 41,915 miles. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend, as the car has successfully cleared its annual inspections without any major failures or dangerous defects recorded over the last five years. While the presence of under-trays has obscured certain components during the most recent examinations, the lack of recurring advisories suggests that previous owners have generally addressed mechanical concerns as they arose. The recorded mileage of 41,915 miles over nine years averages approximately 4,600 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The jump from 22,954 miles in July 2023 to 31,916 miles in July 2024 represents the most active period of use, followed by a substantial increase of nearly 10,000 miles leading up to the 2025 test. This pattern suggests the car has transitioned from a period of light, intermittent use to more consistent daily operation, which is generally beneficial for preventing the issues associated with long-term standing, such as seized calipers or degraded seals. Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2023 record highlighted thinning front pads. Although these were likely replaced, the car’s reliance on under-trays means that hidden corrosion or minor fluid leaks on the underside may have escaped notice during recent inspections. You should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate on low-mileage vehicles that have spent significant time stationary. Ensure that the tyres show even wear patterns, as the 2021 advisory regarding perishing rubber indicates that the car may have sat for extended periods in the past.
